BTS’ Military Service Timeline

V enlisted in the South Korean military in 2023, alongside his bandmates RM, Jimin, and Jungkook. Their enlistment came after Jin, the eldest member, who began his service in December 2022.

Big Hit Music had previously confirmed their enlistment, expressing gratitude to fans for their unwavering support. “We would like to inform our fans that RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have initiated the military enlistment process. The artists are preparing to fulfil their military service duties. We will inform you of further updates in due course. We ask for your continued love and support until they return safely," read the official statement from the company.

As BTS remains on hiatus during their military service, anticipation for their full reunion continues to build. With each passing day, the excitement grows, as fans eagerly await the moment when all seven members will share the stage once again. Jin, the first to enlist, completed his service in June 2024, followed by J-Hope, who made his return in October. If all goes as planned, BTS is set to reunite completely by June 2025.
