Duty done: K-pop's top boyband is reunited
The Observer
|June 22, 2025
The rapper Suga, below, became the seventh and final member of the K-pop mega group BTS to finish his mandatory South Korean military service on Saturday, marking the end of the band's hiatus while serving their country.
BTS is often referred to as the “biggest boy band in the world” and has a legion of passionate fans. The break began in 2022, the year after they were named the world's bestselling artists for the second year in a row by the IFPI, a music industry body.
When band members RM and V celebrated their official military discharge this month, they were met by large crowds and gave an impromptu performance.
