BTS Military Enlist: What You Need to Know
Hello, ARMY! We know you're all wondering about the BTS military enlistment, so we've put together this comprehensive guide to keep you in the loop. Let's dive right in! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and bts military enlist.
Why is BTS Enlisting?
Big Hit Music, BTS's label, announced in December 2021 that the members would be fulfilling their mandatory military service. In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to enlist for about two years. This duty is seen as a way to contribute to their country, and BTS, as proud South Koreans, are no exception.
Who's Enlisting and When?
Each member of BTS will enlist individually, starting with the eldest, Jin, in December 2022. The others will follow in the order of their birthdates:
- Jin (December 2022) - Suga (2023) - J-Hope (2023) - RM (2023) - Jimin (2024) - V (2024)
What Does This Mean for BTS's Career?
While it's natural to feel concerned, remember that many K-pop artists have successfully resumed their careers after completing their military service. Here's what to expect:
Activity Pauses, Not Ends
Each member's enlistment will pause their solo and group activities. However, BTS as a group is not disbanding. They'll resume as a team once all members have completed their service.
New Music and Comebacks
During their hiatus, BTS members may release new music as soloists or through sub-units. They've already given us a taste of this with Jin's solo single, "The Astronaut."
Fan Meetings and Comebacks
Once they return, BTS will likely have a grand comeback with new music and a world tour. They've promised to return to the stage together, so ARMYs can look forward to that!
How Can ARMYs Show Support?
While we wait for BTS's return, here's how ARMYs can show their support:
Stream Their Music
Keep streaming BTS's discography to maintain their legacy and show your love.
Engage with Their Content
Watch their music videos, live performances, and other content on YouTube. Engage with their social media posts and participate in fan communities.
Wait Patiently
Understand that BTS needs this time to serve their country, and their return will be even sweeter after the wait.
Looking Ahead: BTS's Post-Enlistment Era
Once all members have completed their service, we can expect a new chapter in BTS's career. They'll likely have new music, a world tour, and more opportunities to connect with ARMYs worldwide.
So, ARMY, let's embrace this new phase together. Let's show BTS our support and love as they serve their country. And when they return, let's welcome them back with open arms!
