With the start of 2025, all members of BTS serving in the military will be discharged this year.
Jin and J-Hope were discharged last year, so the remaining five members are expected to be discharged by June this year.
The group’s comeback has been highly anticipated in the domestic and overseas music industries.
Although they were in the military, their popularity had no intention of dying down as member solo activities have continued the group’s popularity even during their hiatus.
According to media outlets, BTS, the face of HYBE, now has another task: normalizing the company’s fallen stock price. Due to last year’s unexpected dark period with the Min Hee Jin controversy, it caused the company a considerable blow.
Many predict that BTS’s complete group comeback and monetizing new groups will improve performance and HYBE’s target stock price.
However, the key point is whether or not BTS will make a comeback this year. It might also be possible for them to take a break and return in 2026.
Korean netizens couldn’t believe that HYBE was waiting for BTS to “save” the company.
- “When is the drunk driving member going to leave the group.”
- “HYBE is the starting point of illegal and evil acts and made the group through all this. If HYBE is going to fall, the group should too.”
- “I don’t want to see the complete group…a group that uses manipulation.”
- “Sajaegi…”
Regardless, BTS’s comeback will shake up the music industry in one way or another, and attention will be focused on how the members will make their grand return.
