The long-awaited BTS reunion finally happened on June 13, 2025. All seven members were seen together at j-hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL encore concert in Goyang. The concert, which coincided with BTS' 12th debut anniversary and ongoing FESTA celebrations, gave ARMY a surprise they had been hoping for since the members began their military service.
As the concert began at Goyang Stadium, fans in the crowd and those watching online quickly spotted the BTS members RM, Jimin, Jin, V, and Suga seated in the audience. Jungkook later joined j-hope on stage for a live performance of Seven, while Jin also appeared on stage for Spring Day.
