BTS is currently on hiatus due to all of its members being enrolled in the mandatory military service required for South Korean citizens.
Right now, all fans want to know is how long this hiatus could last and when it would be safe to start looking forward to the reunion of one of the biggest boy groups in the world. Well, we’ve just done the math and 2025 is our safest bet.

Even though fans continue to enjoy music from Jungkook and V – global superstars in their own right – we can’t help but feel that something is missing. And that something, of course, is BTS.

The K-pop boy band sensation BTS have now renewed their contract with the South Korean K-pop label Big Hit Music, an off-shoot of the Korean label giant Hybe. In a statement announcing the deals, the group promised to “stay together in 2025 and beyond.”

BTS’s V, fresh off the release of his solo project, has shared his visit to South Korea’s Tiny Desk. Backed by a crew of stellar instrumentalists and vocalists, the jazz-loving member of the septet reimagined three cuts off of Layover. Watch the full episode below.
Filmed in Seoul, V enlisted a drummer, backup vocalists, a saxophone player, a keyboardist, and a handful of other players (most of whom flew in from the US) to round out the backing band of his dreams. They kicked things off with the album’s pre-release single, “Love Me Again,” and followed it up with an extra dreamy live arrangement of the focus track, Slow Dancing after V dedicated some time to introducing the members of the band.

V of BTS has unveiled “Love Me Again,” the first single from his upcoming solo album, Layover. Watch the song’s accompanying music video below.
As one of the vocalists of the group, V is known for his rich lower register, and he has a particular penchant for jazz-inspired music. “Love Me Again,” a somewhat lo-fi track, allows V to slide into crooner mode once again.
To contrast the gentle nature of the song, V is decked out in a glam look, performing the track against the dramatic backdrop of a cave. “If you ever regret this, won’t you let me know?/ I’ll be honest with you, put it all out there/ I think you about you all the time,” he sings.
The six-track Layover is due out on September 8th.
V’s solo album will follow projects from BTS bandmates Jungkook, j-hope, Rm, Jimin, Suga, and Jin.

The visual released on Wednesday and features the star in a gold sequined top surrounded by stalactites hanging from the roof of a cave.

In early May, two of the world's biggest fandoms - the BTS Army and Taylor Swift's Swifties - were debating whether or not their fave was the subject of a highly anticipated celebrity memoir with an initial print run of one million copies that was shrouded in mystery by its US publisher, Flatiron Books. The buzz around the book, which appeared on Macmillan's website with the title "4C Untitled Flatiron Nonfiction Summer 2023," was so intense that it hit the Top 10 on the Amazon bestsellers list without having even officially been announced.
The mystery surrounding the subject of the book ended on May 11, with the New York Times announcing it is a BTS book.

Last March, 25-year-old Kiana Fazeli was at the library studying for the MCATs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., prepping for medical school applications. "I was honestly kind of depressed," she remembers. "It was a very, very lonely time for me."
Then, the YouTube algorithm surfaced a video for Stray Kids, a K-pop group, and a member, whom she now knows as Felix, caught her attention. She wondered: "Who is this handsome fellow?" She started poring over Stray Kids's TikToks and music videos and learning more about the eight-member group. That snowballed into Fazeli getting into BTS after watching their vacation docuseries, "In the Soop [Forest]," and their variety show, "Run BTS."

Thanks to “Boy With Luv,” BTS have continued to make history by releasing the first Korean-language song to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.
The Halsey-featuring track appears on BTS’ 2019 EP Map of the Soul: Persona, and while its the first song sung in Korean to hit the Billions Club, it’s not BTS’ first entry into the Spotify success canon. In 2021, the K-pop group’s cut “Dynamite” earned the distinction, marking the first song by a Korean artist to achieve a billion streams. The following year, their track “Butter” hit the milestone as well.
“Boy With Luv” has always been a successful single. Since premiering in 2019, the song has set three Guinness World Records, including Most Viewed YouTube Video in 24 Hours, Most Viewed YouTube Music Video in 24 Hours, and Most Viewed YouTube Music Video by a K-Pop Group in 24 Hours. What’s more, Map of the Soul: Persona debuted at No.

For three years, BTS have been nominated for Grammy Awards - and, in doing so, the superstar group have made history several times over for being the first Korean group to snag those nominations (five in total) and to perform at the award show. But on Feb. 5, for the third year in a row, the Recording Academy snubbed one of the bestselling acts in the music industry.
BTS were up for two awards at the 65th Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles - one for their "Yet to Come" music video and one for best pop duo/group performance for "My Universe," their collaboration with Coldplay.

The members of BTS either attended or performed at the Grammy Awards in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Even though the septet is nominated in three categories at the upcoming 2023 Grammy Awards, there has been no official confirmation that members of the band will be in attendance.

Unless a few members make a surprise appearance, Suga, J-Hope, Rm, Jimin, V, and Jungkook of BTS will not be in attendance at the 2023 Grammy Awards. The most likely reasons are because the band is currently not prioritizing group activities, and because Jin is completing his military service.
According to The Korea Herald, BTS will not “be present at the event this year as the group is currently on an indefinite break due to military enlistment and solo career commitments.”

After being granted a few years of extensions, the South Korean boy band BTS has announced that the members will be beginning their mandatory military service soon, and will be returning to the music scene as a full group again sometime “around 2025.”
The band has been on a hiatus since June while several members pursue solo projects, and they just performed their last performance before the military service this past Saturday in Busan. The band’s oldest member Jin, or Kim Soek-jin, will be the first to enlist.
BTS’ management company Big Hit said that Jin will enlist later this month once he has released and finished promotional duties for his latest solo single. As a globally recognized K-Pop group, BTS was allowed in 2019 to put off their military obligation until the age of 30 instead of the usual 28 for able-bodied men in the country.
It’s unclear what his commitments will be going forward,...

Video Version of this Article Photo: BTS “To lose your path is the way to find that path” (‘Lost’ by BTS) is the motto and theme that BTS has always explored in their music. The South Korean pop boy band has risen to fame and is here to stay. Even if you aren’t a part of their renowned fanbase, called Army, it is widely known that this septet has broken a plethora of records and also boundaries within the global and US music markets. Their name in English stands for ‘Beyond the Scene’ and in Korean it stands for ‘Bangtan Sonyeondan’ (also known as the Bangtan Boys), which translates to ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts.’ The concept of the name was to reflect the concept behind BTS and its music.
