The BTS fandom, known as ARMY, is buzzing with excitement as all seven members—Jin, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—are either back from their mandatory military enlistment or are set to return shortly. The anticipation for a potential full-group reunion has never been higher.
Anticipated Full Group Return: All Eyes on Kintex
The 2025 BTS Festa aligns perfectly with the cherished anniversary of the group’s official debut on June 13. This year is particularly unique as it marks the first public gathering of all members since December 2022, when Jin became the first to enlist.
RM and V are scheduled to complete their service on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11. Suga, who has served as a public service worker in an alternative military role, will finish his obligations on June 21, shortly after the Festa. Meanwhile, Jin and J-Hope, both of whom were discharged in 2023, have already embarked on their solo careers.

Significance of the Event: A Transformative Moment for BTS and K-pop
As Grace Kao, a Yale University professor specializing in K-pop culture, notes, “Fans, including myself, are keen to observe the new dynamics that will unfold among the members. This is more than just nostalgia; it’s about witnessing seven artists who have grown individually coming together at a new juncture.”
Jin and J-Hope Paving the Path to Reunion
Jin has recently revealed plans for his debut solo fan concerts slated for June 28-29, situated just outside Seoul, followed by a global tour covering nine cities. Simultaneously, J-Hope is concluding his solo world tour with a final show on June 13-14 — coinciding with the Festa dates — and he will also release a new single titled “Killin’ It Girl (feat. GloRilla)”on June 13.
With these members already in the limelight, there is growing optimism among fans that the remaining members of BTS may soon share the stage again — possibly hinting at a surprise reunion during the Festa.
The Potential for a Reunion: Awaiting BigHit’s Confirmation
Currently, HYBE and BigHit Music have not officially confirmed any group activities for the 2025 BTS Festa. Nevertheless, the timing, significance, and ambition behind the event imply something monumental may be on the horizon.
Whether this manifests as a full-group performance, a message from the collective, or teasers for upcoming projects, one thing is clear: the ARMY will be attentive, and the world will be eager to listen.
