Jin, the senior member and co-founder of South Korean boy band BTS, has completed his mandatory military service. The 31-year-old artist returned to his bandmates from a military support base in Yeoncheon, north of Seoul, with J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook eagerly awaiting his arrival. Jin finished his 18-month military duty at an infantry division in the area. To celebrate his return, RM played the song "Dynamite" on a saxophone, while Jimin, V, and Jungkook were also present, having taken a break from their own military service. Suga, who had to perform a social replacement service due to an earlier injury, later joined the welcome party in a private setting.
BTS's comeback has been put on hold due to their long military service, with the group's return to the music scene not expected before summer 2025. The band had vehemently denied rumors about their disbandment after announcing an extended break. Currently, BTS is the biggest act in South Korean pop music, known as K-Pop. With songs such as "Dynamite" and "Permission to Dance," the group has captured the hearts and minds of listeners worldwide. BTS initially debuted with "No More Dream" in June 2013.
