In the process of completing his mandatory military service, the now 30-year-old K-pop star dropped his debut solo LP, ‘Jack in the Box’, in 2022, and was re-released last year as an expanded ‘HOPE’ edition.
At their annual FESTA dinner in 2022, BTS stated that they’d be focusing on solo projects and military service.
In a 2023 live stream conversation he had with fellow band member on Weverse, RM said “He told me that there were a great number of ARMY [their fans] across the globe wanting the seven of us to reunite and perform again.” “But as I’m working on my solo project, I keep thinking this way: ‘This is like a vacation’.” “What I mean by that is that it’s a kind of vacation that we, BTS and ARMY, need to take to successfully come back as a whole. So, I believe all our solo activities are important trips for our next chapter, and they’re also trips which we must go on in order to safely come back home.”
RM insists: “We’ll be joining together again. And that will be in 2025.”
Meanwhile, the South Korean boy band – made up of RM, 29, Suga, 30, Jin, 31, V, 28, Jimin, also 28, and 26-year-old Jungkook – plan to reunite in 2025.s
