ARMY is set to see the reunion of BTS members happen according to J Hope.
In a clip captured from his upcoming interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, premiered by Teen Vogue on Monday [April 28], the “Chicken Noodle Soup” singer shared an update on the boy band’s future with respect to RM, Suga, V, Jimin and Jung Kook approaching the end of their respective times in the South Korean military. “I look forward to June when our members will have completed their service,” J-Hope began, according to a close-captioned translation.
The K-pop star further revealed that the group’s reunion will be speedy once the final five members wrap up their enlistments. “We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future,” he told Lowe. “I think it’s going to be a massive energy.”
The Apple Music comes six months after the singer became the second BTS member to be discharged from the military after Jin. The bestselling band has been on break for about two years as they each completed their mandatory service periods, with all seven of the members releasing solo projects in the interim.
“I think that over time, we each refined our unique identities as each of us work on their own music, come out with their solo projects and do their own thing,” J-Hope said on Apple Music 1. “The funny thing for me is when our identities, which have taken shape in various ways, come together as BTS.”
He added of their upcoming reunion: “I’m curious to see how it’ll look like.”
For J-Hope’s part, the South Korean singer has released multiple pieces of solo music since he began his now-complete military service in February 2023. In March of that year, he dropped single “On the Street” with J. Cole, about a year after which J-Hope unveiled EP HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
BTS last released an album in 2020, with Be reaching No. 1 on the albums chart. The LP features smash hit “Dynamite,” which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
