The countdown is on for BTS’s long-awaited reunion — here’s everything J-Hope revealed about their comeback and future.
BTS Fans Are Asking: Is BTS Still Together in 2025?
If you’re an ARMY, a new fan, or just someone who’s followed BTS’s meteoric rise, you’ve probably asked the same questions that have been trending on Google:
“Is BTS disbanding?” “Is BTS coming back in 2025?” “Are all BTS members out of the military yet?”
The answers are finally starting to become clearer — and J-Hope just gave fans a glimpse of what the future holds for BTS.
J-Hope Confirms BTS Reunion Plans: “We Will Quickly Get Together”
In a recent exclusive preview clip from The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1, BTS member J-Hope opened up about what’s next for the group. Speaking candidly about how each member has grown during their solo careers, he said:
“I look forward to June when our members will have completed their service. We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future. I think it’s going to be a massive energy.”
That “massive energy” has fans buzzing — especially since June 2025 marks the official end of mandatory military service for all remaining members: RM, Suga, V, Jimin, and Jungkook. Jin and J-Hope have already returned.
BTS During Military Service: A Time of Growth and Reinvention
Even while serving, BTS never really “left.” Each member has continued to make waves with solo projects. From Jungkook’s radio-ready hits to RM’s introspective rock/hip-hop fusion, the members explored their own musical identities:
- RM: Experimental and existential hip-hop/rock
- Jin: Emotional Korean ballads
- Suga: Deeply analytical rap and prolific producing
- J-Hope: Swagger-filled old-school hip-hop
- V: Jazz and smooth R&B
- Jimin: Nostalgic 90s/2000s pop-electronica
- Jungkook: Catchy, mainstream pop bangers
J-Hope recently completed his “Hope on the Stage” North American tour, delivering a powerful mix of solo tracks and fan-favorite BTS hits like “Mic Drop” and “Silver Spoon.” The crowd’s reaction proved one thing: BTS is more than the sum of its parts.
HYBE’s Statement: BTS Comeback Will Take Time
According to HYBE CEO Lee Jae Sang, the BTS reunion won’t be rushed. He explained that:
“While BTS will finish military service in 2025, time will be needed for preparation and production. The process includes song development, album creation, and potentially a tour. The group is currently aligning their vision for the next phase.”
That means fans might not get a new BTS album immediately in 2025 — but the time is being used to ensure a meaningful and powerful return.
What RM Said About BTS’s Evolution
RM, BTS’s leader, reflected on the journey in an interview with Spanish outlet El País:
“You start your career early and as part of a group, and you don’t have much time to be an individual. But that’s what makes K-pop shine. You spend your 20s pouring everything into it — the love, the power, the influence. And now? The root of everything remains: the music.”
This statement perfectly captures what’s next for BTS — a matured group, ready to enter a new era with more self-awareness and artistry than ever before.
So, Is BTS Coming Back in 2025?
Yes — and soon. While an official BTS comeback date hasn’t been confirmed yet, all signs point to a full group reunion after June 2025.
J-Hope’s words give hope (pun intended!) that BTS will reunite quickly and start planning their next big chapter. Whether that means new music, a world tour, or both — fans around the globe are ready.
