BTS may not reunite before 2026 although mandatory military service of all seven members ends by 2025

As J-Hope became the second member of BTS to complete his mandatory military service last month, fans of the popular seven-member Korean boy band came one step close to seeing them reunite. While a full group comeback would generate considerable revenue, we expect it will not account for as high a share of our earnings as in the past, as our other artists and new ventures are also contributing to growth.” When BTS disbanded temporarily in 2022 thanks to its eldest member Jin's imminent mandatory military enlistment in the South Korean army, HYBE claimed that the boy-band will reunite after all members finish their military service three years later in 2025. While all members will indeed finish their military service next year, HYBE has hinted that they'll reunite in full force only in 2026. BTS' military enlistment and hiatus The seven members of the world's most popular boy band have been on a self-described "hiatus" since 2022 due to their military service, which South Korea requires of all men under 30 due to tensions with the nuclear-armed North.
