BTS' Jungkook, Jimin Complete Military Service

YEONCHEON, South Korea — Two more BTS members were released from South Korean military service on June 11, bringing the K-pop boy band closer to a reunion as they promised fans a "better version" of themselves soon.

The septet, South Korea's most lucrative musical act, have been on a self-described hiatus since 2022 while their members separately completed their military service, which is mandatory in the country for men aged under 30.

More than a thousand fans gathered at the site of a press conference near the two army bases where singers Jimin — whose solo single Who (2024) holds the record for longest-running K-pop song on the Billboard Hot 100 — and Jungkook were discharged.

With so many people assembled to greet the music stars, the networks were overloaded and some broadcasters experienced satellite disruptions.
