BTS members Jung Kook, RM, Jimin and V to begin military service in December

Last four members of South Korean supergroup have begun enlisting, meaning the band will finish their mandatory military service by 2025

Jung Kook, a member of the K-Pop supergroup BTS, said on Wednesday he would begin military service in December, after the group’s management agency said that all seven BTS members were on track to carry out their service.

BTS is on temporary break as a group with three of its seven members now doing South Korea’s mandatory military service.

On Wednesday BTS’s management agency said the remaining four members – RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook – have begun the process of military enlistment.

“This coming December ... I’m leaving you for a short while to serve in the military,” Jung Kook said in a separate message to fans on Wednesday. “After I return, I promise that I will be where I always am, on stage – having grown.“

All seven members are expected to complete their service by mid-2025.

Hybe, parent of BTS’s management agency, benefits by BTS members’ staggering enlistments and solo activities, allowing members who have served earlier to be active while others are away.
