RM did promise us they would be back together as the 7 in 2025, and it appears they are keeping true to their promise as the remaining four members, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook prepare for their mandatory military service.
They have officially started the process of enlistment and Big Hit Music has asked fans to support the band:
"We would like to inform our fans that RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook have initiated the military enlistment process, we ask you for your continued love and support."
For fans around the world, this news is both upsetting and exciting, upsetting in that we are sad to see them leave but also excited about the promise of 2025.
Here's what RM said on a live on Weverse about returning together in 2025:
“I hope our songs and solo projects could be another reminder to you guys of how important ARMY was, has been, and will be in our lives at the same time. I hope that it is a reminder that spring will come again. Please continue to keep BTS alive in your hearts, in this moment and perhaps throughout your entire life."
He continued on to say:
"All the solo [activities] is just a journey. But it is a very important journey for Chapter 2. But it’s a journey to get back home safe. Eventually, when we get back and reunite together in 2025 [we will] be back for sure. We’ll be joining together again. And that will be in 2025.” - RM
As most ARMYs and fans know three of BTS' members are currently taking part in their mandatory military service, namely Jin, Suga, and J-Hope.
We are saddened by this news but we are also feeling happy that the group is keeping their promise. BTS are a real beacon of light and inspiration to their fans. It's a nice warm feeling that they stay true to their words and even more exciting for fans that are yet to see them!
We will report more when we know more about RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook's enlistment. In the meantime, we wish them well and can't wait for 2025!
