The long awaited BTS reunion tour might be delayed until 2026. HYBE explains as well as ARMY takes to social media to voice their thoughts!
ARMY (the official BTS fandom name) may have to wait longer than anticipated for a BTS reunion tour, following the members enlisting on their mandatory military service. Anticipation for the full group to reunite in 2025 has been hyped through social media, however the band's agency has made comments that it may be delayed until 2026.
Hurdles:
One hurdle in BTS' reunion is that its member SUGA was investigated over a drunk e-scooter incident in Seoul earlier this year, which led to HYBE's share price dropping to a record low. Some BTS members, however, continue to release solo projects, with Jin set to release his first solo album in November.
Also, J-hope ended eighteen months of South Korean military service in October, and hailed the "sacrifice" of soldiers working to keep the country safe. Before J-Hope, Jin finished his service in June. The rest of the band will complete their service in June 2025.
Fan reaction:
ARMY has taken to social media to express their opinions and frustration on this latest news.
Label statement:
BTS's record label HYBE has disclosed that they are in touch with the members and that future plans have not yet been finalized.
HYBE's chief financial officer (CFO) Lee Kyung Jun addressed BTS' future plans "We are currently discussing (BTS') full-fledged group activities for 2026 with the members."
Plans for 2026 have not yet been finalized", the CFO noted.
