Will BTS reunite in 2025? K-Pop star RM opens up about his bandmates' thoughts on their reunion

SEOUL, NORTH KOREA: BTS's RM recently hinted at the band's highly anticipated reunion in 2025 during a Weverse Livestream.

The K-pop star excitedly talked about his bandmates', their mandatory military service, and solo endeavors, and shared thoughts on whether the band will come together once again for their fans worldwide, according to Rolling Stone.

Will BTS reunite in 2025?

During the live stream, the 28-year-old rapper explained that his bandmate Suga who has embarked on his military service shared he is "waiting for the reunion in 2025" as he has expressed how much he felt the love of his fans.

RM echoed Suga's sentiments as he said that their individual projects are merely stepping stones that will lead them back to their band and their fans.

"This is just like a vacation to get back to where I was, which was BTS and ARMY," he stated before adding, "It’s a journey to get back home safe, eventually, when we get back and reunite together in 2025."

Why did BTS go on a 'temporary hiatus'?

In June 2022, BTS left their fans shocked after they announced a temporary hiatus explaining that the break would help them explore their artistic expressions individually.

BIGHIT MUSIC, the band's label further emphasized at the time that BTS's hiatus would allow the members "take this time to achieve personal growth through various new activities, and we expect it to further strengthen the foundation for the group's long-run as a team."

Will BTS join the military?

BTS members J-Hope and Jin have already enlisted for mandatory service in the South Korean military for mandatory service, with Suga recently following the others after the end of his Agust D tour.

The news of BTS members going their separate ways to fulfill their mandatory military duties was met with a mix of anticipation and apprehension from their ARMY. The band's agency HYBE reassured their fans that the bandmate's time away from being together would ultimately contribute to their longevity as a group.

Though RM admitted to having "a hard time on a human level" working apart and the challenges involved, he expressed his confidence in the band's potential for a great comeback during their second phase.

"When you are famous, staying on top is very difficult. But I think BTS will make it," RM told Spanish news agency EFE.

"It will come together again when we finish our military service, and we will look for new synergies between us to enter a second phase. But, in any case, nothing lasts forever."

Talking about what he feels about the journey, RM said, "This is a greatness of love… When I face this kind of love, I feel like it’s irresistible, and that’s what makes me go through all those trials and hardships and shit happening in life."
