On June 8, 2025, Pop Core reported that a giant BTS logo was recently installed outside the HYBE office building in Seoul. The visual appeared just ahead of the remaining members nearing the end of their mandatory military service. According to the confirmed timeline, RM and V are expected to complete their duties on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11.

Suga’s return is slated for June 21. With these dates, the entire lineup will have finalized their enlistment duties, clearing the way for collective activities in the coming year. Jin and j-hope, who completed their service in 2023, have remained active through various personal appearances and solo ventures, as official group operations remain on hold.

The sudden appearance of the K-pop act's symbol outside HYBE’s headquarters has fueled fan speculation, intensifying anticipation for the group’s full-scale comeback.

Although formal confirmations remain pending, the timing and nature of the visual installation have added to speculation about promotional planning or coordinated returns. One fan on X commented:

"The owners are back."

BTS announced a temporary hiatus in 2022 to fulfill their national conscription duties, as mandated by South Korean regulations. HYBE previously affirmed that each member would serve and regroup following the completion of their terms.

"OMGGGGG, WHATTT?!?!?! AAAAH😭 BTS IS REALLY COMING🤧🥹💜," a fan remarked.
"I just know that whole Hybe & entire Korea will be shivering, the day BTS reunites as 7 !" a user mentioned.
"Exactly let them know the kings are coming bacckkkkkk!!!!" a person shaared.

"Legends are about to back 🔙 Everyone be ready," another fan added.
