It’s a day of celebration for BTS ARMY worldwide as Jimin and Jungkook, two of the most beloved members of global K-pop sensation BTS, have officially completed their mandatory military service in South Korea.

The duo, known for their tight friendship and electrifying stage presence, greeted fans and the press with wide smiles, salutes, and an unmistakable spark in their eyes as they stepped out in uniform for the last time on June 11.

Dressed in military fatigues, the Maknae line members were photographed sharing hearty laughs, exchanging jokes, and waving to waiting fans. Jungkook, known for his tattoos, showed off his inked arm proudly, while Jimin charmed onlookers with his signature smile and gracious greetings.


Flower bouquets in hand, the two idols couldn’t contain their joy—nor could their global fanbase.
