BTS is done with military service, and the internet is thrilled

1 Mins read

June has become a big month for BTS fans, as every member of the massively successful K-pop boyband has now completed their mandatory military service. South Korea requires all non-disabled male citizens between the ages of 18 to 35 to complete 18 to 21 months of military duty.

Rapper Suga was the last of the BTS members to do so. As of Saturday, he was officially discharged from his duties as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service.

“It’s been about two years. How have you all been?” Suga wrote in a post on Weverse, the fandom-focused social media platform created by HYBE Corporation.

Suga’s discharge follows that of members RM and V, who were discharged June 10, and Jimin and Jung Kook, who were discharged June 11.

Jin, BTS’s oldest member, was the first to enlist in the army, beginning his mandatory service in December 2023. He was discharged in June 2024, and J-Hope was discharged in October 2024.

Suga’s return to civilian life has officially set the stage for a BTS comeback, which The Korea Herald reported is scheduled for March 2026. So, what’s another few months’ wait after several years away?

For now, though, the BTS ARMY is having the time of their life celebrating BTS’s return online.
