On June 21, 2025, fans of BTS celebrated a long-awaited reunion as Suga, the last member of the globally renowned K-Pop group, completed his national service and stepped back into civilian life. With a heartfelt message on social media, Suga expressed gratitude to fans for their unwavering patience during the band's nearly three-year hiatus.

According to industry experts, male celebrities in South Korea often experience a decline in fanfare after taking a break to fulfill their military obligations. However, some believe BTS may not fall into this trend.
Professor Kim Taeryong, a noted expert in K-Culture at Kyung Hee University, argues that BTS's status transcends typical idol expectations, classifying them as cultural icons. Throughout their time away, BTS kept their fanbase engaged with the strategic release of pre-recorded songs and videos, as well as regular updates through social media channels. This proactive approach helped maintain the group's presence in the public eye, ensuring that they remain relevant and celebrated even during their absence.
