Why 2025 is going to be BTS's year
What's the story
Fans across the globe are calling 2025 the "year of BTS." This is because all seven members are expected to return after their compulsory military service in South Korea. Jin and J-Hope have already completed their services and were discharged in 2024, while younger members RM, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are scheduled to be discharged this year. Understandably, ARMYs can't keep calm!
Reunion confirmation
J-Hope confirmed BTS's reunion, expressed excitement
In a recent interview, J-Hope confirmed the group's reunion after military service. He was excited about their comeback, saying, "When we are all back together as a group, it's going to have a huge impact." The rapper also said he can't wait to return to the stage with BTS and perform like before. "I want to come back in style and say, 'This is us; this is BTS,'" he added.
Comeback plans
Speculations about BTS's comeback activities in 2025
There are rampant speculations that BTS will make their comeback with a full album and a world tour. The activities are rumored to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life series. However, neither BTS nor their agency has confirmed these plans yet. The agency did mention ongoing discussions about potential activities in 2026, hinting at a possible group reunion next year. Meanwhile, BTS have kept fans engaged with documentaries and other solo activities.
Financial outlook
BTS's agency discussed financial expectations from comeback
Jin, after returning, made history by becoming a torchbearer for Paris Olympics. BTS's agency, HYBE, represented by CFO Lee Kyung Joon, admitted a full group comeback would bring in a lot of money. But he also said it may not make up as big a share of their earnings as before. This is because of the growth contributions from other artists and new ventures under their management.
