More about BTS
The seven-member group from South Korea last performed together during their "Yet to Come" concert in Busan on October 15, 2022. This free event held immense significance for ARMY, marking the group's final performance before their military enlistments began. Just days later, HYBE Corporation and BigHit confirmed the enlistment plans, signaling an indefinite pause on group activities.
Although BTS has not performed publicly as a group since 2022, they did gift fans a special release on June 9, 2023, with "Take Two" to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary. The heartfelt track, a tribute to their journey, became their last release as a group before their hiatus.
Despite the absence of group interactions in 2023 and 2024, BTS dominated Google searches, a testament to the unwavering loyalty and dedication of their global fanbase.
With all seven members expected to complete their military service in 2025, speculation about a full-group reunion is reaching a fever pitch. BTS has previously hinted at plans to return as OT7 after fulfilling their duties, fueling excitement and anticipation among fans worldwide.
