President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol has immediately become the main lead of a political drama he created by himself with the shocking 2024 martial law. With this 2024 Korea martial law in effect, it seems that all active-duty soldiers had received their postponement of military discharge. Yes, you heard that right—postponed! So, wait. What about BTS members then? Now that the 2024 martial law has been lifted, how does it affect BTS members and their military discharge? Rest assured. Keep reading as we break it all down and tell you exactly what happens next for BTS military discharge.
Military Discharge Postponement Lifted as Korea Martial Law 2024 Ended
In a dramatic turn of events, the martial law declared by President Yoon on December 3, 2024, has officially ended. And just like that, the clock starts ticking again for everyone in South Korea, including all the active-duty soldiers and—of course—BTS members. But why was everyone so worried in the first place? Let’s rewind a bit.
As President Yoon Suk Yeol announced the shocking 2024 Korea martial law, fans immediately started worrying about their beloved BTS members – RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook – who are all currently serving in the military.
If you’re an ARMY, you can probably relate to the shock and anxiety fans felt. After all, we were all eagerly waiting for these members to complete their service and return. But now, with martial law in place, there was the fear that everything could be delayed.
Well, what happened?
Previously, South Korea announced that under the 2024 martial law, all active-duty military discharges were suspended, meaning that even the BTS members’ long-awaited returns might be delayed.
Now, the question on everyone’s mind was: Will BTS’s military service be extended? You may feel that the idea of waiting even longer for their return seemed too much to handle.
But here’s the good news – the martial law didn’t last long. By the early hours of December 4, after just a few hours of panic, the South Korean National Assembly stepped in and voted to lift the martial law.
With that decision, the government immediately announced to have lifted the the suspension on military discharges. Therefore, all previously delayed discharge dates policy will now proceed as planned.
BTS Members Will Be Discharged from Active-Duty as Scheduled
So, what does this mean for BTS’s military service? Now that Korea is no longer under martial law, the BTS members who are still serving – RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook – will be discharged according to their original schedules. To put your worries to rest, here’s a quick breakdown of the dates:
- RM and V are set to be discharged on June 10, 2025.
- Jimin and Jungkook will closely follow, with their discharge dates on June 11, 2025.
- Suga, who is currently serving as a social service worker, is expected to be released by June 21, 2025.
Finally, it’s been a long wait for BTS military service to come to an end, but with the 2024 Korea martial law drama behind us, it’s time to look forward to the highly-anticipated return of BTS.
While the 2024 Korea martial law caused a temporary stir, you can now rest assured that the BTS members will be discharged as scheduled.
So, ARMYs, mark those calendars! The countdown to BTS’s return is just months away. Stay tuned, and get ready for what’s next – because the boys are coming back!
