BTS, the global sensation, has made headlines once again as all seven members, including RM, Jin, SUGA, J-HOPE, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, have officially renewed their contracts with HYBE Entertainment, formerly known as BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT. While some members are currently fulfilling their mandatory military service, the group’s agency, HYBE, has disclosed their plans for enlistment and the future of the beloved K-pop group.
BTS’s Path to Military Service
As BTS continues to solidify their position as one of the world’s most iconic boy bands, the issue of military enlistment has been a topic of concern for fans and the industry alike. HYBE Entertainment, under the leadership of Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, recently announced that all members have agreed to renew their contracts. This renewal signifies that those members currently serving in the military, namely J-HOPE, Jin, and SUGA, will complete their service before officially resuming their contractual obligations.
The agency has assured fans that the remaining members—RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—will also fulfill their military duties, albeit at different times. A comprehensive enlistment plan, outlining the schedules for each member, is expected to be released before the end of this year. However, it’s important to note that while the agency has confirmed the enlistment plan announcement within the year, it has not disclosed whether RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook will enlist for military service within this calendar year.
BTS’s Remarkable Contract Renewal
BTS made their debut in 2013 under BIGHIT MUSIC with the track “No More Dreams.” This marks the second time the septet has chosen to renew their contracts with HYBE Entertainment, a move that showcases their unwavering commitment to the group’s unity and shared vision. Notably, instead of signing individual exclusive contracts, the members have opted to renew collectively as a group, emphasizing their solidarity.
The Anticipated Return of BTS
Fans, known as ARMYs, can breathe a sigh of relief as BTS has confirmed that group activities will recommence in 2025, once all members have successfully completed their military service. The announcement has sparked excitement among fans worldwide, who eagerly await the group’s comeback with all seven members.
Despite some members currently being on hiatus due to military service, BTS’s popularity remains as robust as ever. The group continues to shatter records, garnering immense appreciation and recognition globally. In the meantime, the individual members are focusing on their solo projects. J-Hope has already released his first solo album, “Jack in The Box,” Jin treated fans to his single, “The Astronaut,” and SUGA delighted listeners with his album, “D-Day,” all before their respective enlistments.
As the members of BTS embark on their individual military journeys, their unwavering bond and the anticipation of their reunion in 2025 keep the global music community and ARMYs alike eagerly awaiting their triumphant return to the stage.
