Fans react

Reacting to the post, a fan wrote, “Well, the sooner they go, the earlier they will come back. Can’t wait for 2025.” A comment read, “Yes let’s wrap this up as soon as possible.” Another person said, “They should give JK and V many months to do activities like the others could do after their albums, hope they don’t rush their releases, plus they are the only ones that haven’t an album yet, it would be unfair for them.” A Twitter user said, “If that’s true, They’ll all be back by Festa 2025!!”

BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook debuted in 2013. Last year in June they had announced a break from group activities. BTS members hope to reconvene as a unit around 2025 following their service commitment.
