V enlisted in the South Korean military in 2023. RM, Jimin and Jungkook joined him. Their enlistment followed that of Jin, the eldest member, who began his service in December 2022. As per South Korean law, all able-bodied men must serve between 18 to 21 months. The BTS members are no exception.

Before their enlistment, Big Hit Music confirmed the news. 

The company thanked fans for their constant 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 Big Hit Music’s official statement.

For now, BTS remains on hiatus as the members fulfil their national duties. The countdown to their reunion has officially begun. With each passing day, anticipation grows. Fans eagerly await the moment the seven superstars will stand together on stage once again. 

Jin, the eldest member, finished his military service in June 2024. J-Hope followed, making his return in October. The group is expected to reunite fully by June 2025.
