Back in October it was revealed that all members will move forward with completing their mandatory military service in South Korea, and are planning to reunite as a group in 2025.
South Korean men aged 18-30 have to spend a year-and-a-half in the military to contribute to the country’s readiness for a potential conflict with North Korea.
The same month, Jin released his new solo single “The Astronaut”, which was co-written with Coldplay.
Earlier this month BTS’ RM released his debut solo album Indigo.
