Everything the Members of BTS Have Said About Their Upcoming Reunion

Ever since RM, Suga, V, Jimin and Jung Kook became the last members of BTS to enlist in the South Korean military — following Jin and j-hope months prior — fans have been counting down the days until June 2025.

That’s because after 18 months of required service, the final five Bangtan Boys will finally have completed their obligations to their country, free at last to return to civilian life with their bandmates — and, as promised, to reunite as a septet more than two years after Jin became the first to enlist in December 2022. Their next chapter will also come a full five years after the release of BTS’ last proper studio album, Be, which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and allowed the group to explode into crossover superstar status; “Dynamite” and “Life Goes On” from the LP both became Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, setting the stage for “Permission to Dace” and “Butter” to later reach the top spot.

But while having to step away at the very height of their popularity should have killed their momentum, all seven of the bandmates were able to keep the train moving by releasing solo projects during their time apart. From standalone singles to EPs and full-blown albums, along with collaborations with other major stars, each member of the group has gotten the chance to step into their own as soloists and come out stronger with heightened senses of their own artistry.

Now, the only question on ARMY’s mind is: What’s next? There’s no telling what the future holds for BTS once the group does reunite, and details about the actual logistics of the reunion have remained minimal. But some of the members have touched on what’s in store for their future as a band — and no matter what it is, it’s going to be exciting.

Below, see everything the guys of BTS have said about their upcoming reunion.
