On June 11, 2025, BTS members Jimin and Jungkook came live on Weverse after their discharge from military service, joining RM and Taehyung, who had returned the day before. While the two thanked fans and reflected on their military journey, one moment in particular grabbed everyone’s attention.

About Taehyung’s SDT transformation, BTS’s discharge updates, and what’s next for the group
Taehyung’s dramatic physical change came during his service in the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the 2nd Corps Military Police Unit. This unit is known for its intense physical demands and tactical training.
He was enlisted on December 11, 2023. V quickly gained attention for his dedication to the program, achieving noticeable gains in strength and muscle mass. His fellow soldiers frequently praised his hard work and camaraderie, with heartfelt messages and gifts shared online following his discharge.
V, alongside RM, officially completed his military service on June 10 during a public event in Chuncheon. Both expressed gratitude to fans and fellow soldiers while addressing the media. The next day, Jimin and Jungkook completed their own military service, appearing in Yeoncheon to greet media and supporters.
Jimin and Jungkook, who enlisted together under the Companion Soldiers system, spoke about the deep bond they formed during their service. They thanked the ARMY for waiting and reflected on their experiences. Jimin also encouraged the public to show kindness to soldiers they encounter.
As of now, six out of seven BTS members are officially discharged. SUGA is set to complete his alternative service on June 21, marking the full group’s return. BTS FESTA 2025, celebrating the group’s 12th anniversary, will take place on June 13 and 14, with large-scale offline events scheduled in Goyang.
With BTS’ reunion now just days away, fans are eager to see what’s next, not only in terms of group activities but also to witness more of V’s post-military glow-up that has everyone talking.
