BTS Military Service:
While BTS Jin will return on June 12, 2024, Jhope is expected to return in October 2024 as he enlisted in April 2023. BTS' leader RM and V aka Kim Taehyung enlisted in the military together on December 11, 2023. They will return in June 2025. On the other hand, Jimin and Jungkook enlisted a day after RM and V in December 2023 and are expected to return in June 2025. The duo opted for the buddy system which allows them to enlist as a pair and undergo training side by side throughout. However, the training under the buddy system is said to be more harsh and strict.
On the other hand, BTS Suga is also serving his mandatory national duty but not in the military. Due to his shoulder injury, the BTS rapper has been exempted from the same and is currently serving as the social service agent. He will serve for 21 months and will return in 2025.
