The day ARMYs around the world have been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived: BTS members Jimin and Jungkook have officially been discharged from their mandatory military service on June 11, 2025. This momentous occasion marks a significant step towards the highly anticipated full-group comeback of the global K-pop sensation.

Jimin and Jungkook enlisted together on December 12, 2023, serving in the Army's 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province. Their discharge follows closely on the heels of RM and V, who completed their service just a day prior. With Jin and J-Hope having already completed their duties last year, the reunion of BTS is rapidly approaching. Suga, who is currently serving as a public service worker, is scheduled to conclude his service on June 21, 2025, which will mark the official return of all seven members.

BigHit Music, the agency representing BTS, has requested fans to refrain from visiting the discharge locations, emphasizing the limited space and potential safety risks associated with overcrowding. Instead, the agency encouraged fans to convey their support and encouragement in their hearts, prioritizing the safety of both the artists and the ARMY.

Despite the lack of official events, the excitement among fans is palpable. Social media platforms are flooded with heartfelt messages and celebratory posts, expressing joy and anticipation for the group's future activities. Immediately following their discharge, videos and photos began circulating online, capturing the emotional reunion of Jimin and Jungkook with fans. The two appeared shy and giggly, holding bouquets of flowers, as they greeted the ARMY who had waited patiently for their return.

Adding to the excitement, HYBE, the parent company of BigHit Music, has adorned its headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, with the official BTS and ARMY logos, accompanied by the phrase "WE ARE BACK." This visual display serves as a powerful symbol of the group's impending return to the music scene.

Furthermore, BTS and BigHit Music are gearing up to host the '2025 BTS FESTA' at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on June 13–14. This annual event, held around the group's debut date of June 13, celebrates BTS's anniversary with their devoted fanbase. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, J-Hope will also be holding his concert 'HOPE ON THE STREET FINAL' at Goyang Sports Complex on the same days.

Jimin showcased exemplary dedication during his military service, enlisting as an active duty soldier at the Army 5th Division Recruit Training Center in Yeoncheon. He excelled during his five weeks of basic training, graduating as the top trainee and receiving the Best Trainee commendation award from the Division Commander. He was then selected as a Special Class Warrior for his excellent military performance.

The discharge of Jimin and Jungkook marks a pivotal moment for BTS and their global fanbase. With six out of the seven members now discharged, the anticipation for their full-group comeback is reaching fever pitch. As ARMYs eagerly await Suga's return on June 21st, the promise of new music and performances from BTS looms large, signaling a new chapter in the group's illustrious career.
