"MY FAMILY REUNION," a fan exclaimed.

j-hope's encore concert, BTS members' military discharge, and solo works
The HOPE ON THE STAGE tour began on February 28, 2025, in Seoul and spanned 15 cities across North America and Asia. It marked a significant solo journey for the rapper. This encore performance will close out his solo tour, as well as mark a moment for BTS as a group.
Fans are particularly excited because the concert coincides with the end of military service for most BTS members. RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook are all set to be discharged just days before the concert. SUGA's discharge is planned for July 21. Despite the timeline, fans have speculated that SUGA might use his accumulated leave to appear, sparking even more hope for a full OT7 reunion.
During their hiatus, each BTS member focused on solo projects and gained individual recognition. Jin released The Astronaut and is preparing for his second upcoming album, Echo, while j-hope embarked on his HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour, releasing singles like Sweet Dreams and Mona Lisa.
RM released two solo albums, Indigo and Right Place, Wrong Person, while SUGA released D-DAY and toured under his Agust D persona. V's cinematic Layover made waves, and Jungkook's Golden cemented his status as a global pop star. Jimin, too, made his mark with FACE and MUSE.
The encore concert symbolizes the end of j-hope's successful tour and also marks a potential reunion for the septet, bringing together their shared history, solo journeys, and the promise of a new era for ARMYs worldwide.
