BTS' Jimin is scheduled to be discharged from his military service on June 11, 2025. The singer began his service in December 2023 and has been enlisted alongside his bandmate Jungkook.
Ahead of his return, fans have arranged a series of public displays near his base in Yeoncheon. Starting May 25, large banners have been placed at both ends of the town’s only footbridge. The initiative is led by the Jimin Apple Music Team and Park Jimin USA. The banners will remain on display until June 11. One of the messages, written in Korean, reads:
“Jimin, we were waiting for this day you said you’d come and catch us.”

On the day of his discharge, fans plan to install five inflatable balloons near the 5th Division site. Each balloon is around three meters wide, with banners measuring 0.9 meters tall and seven meters in length attached to them.
The event is being coordinated by @voteforpjm2, along with groups like @itJIMIN1013 and @JIMIN_RECORD13. Supporters from both within South Korea and abroad are contributing.
All displays have been placed close to the unit gates, where the idol is expected to make his exit. One fan responding to the preparations, writing:
Fans thanked Jimin’s fanbase for the welcome projects. Some of them hoped the 29-year-old would see the banners and feel all the love and support waiting for him.

Airport clip of BTS' Jimin sparks talk of comeback ahead of military discharge
BTS’ Jimin was reportedly spotted at Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport on May 23, 2025, marking one of his rare public appearances since beginning mandatory military duty. Dressed in a simple black outfit, he moved calmly through the airport.
His exact travel plans weren’t confirmed. However, Gimpo mostly runs domestic and short international flights. That includes frequent routes to Tokyo, so fans think he might’ve been heading to Japan.
The following day, Jungkook was also seen at the same airport. No official link between the trips has been made. Notably, the two BTS members had earlier flown to Japan on November 23, 2023.
The expedition occurred nineteen days before their scheduled enlistment. It was later revealed that the footage from that visit was for their travel series Are You Sure?!, which dropped on Disney+ in August 2024.
The show followed their journey through various Japanese cities, including Sapporo. It focused on food, culture, and everyday life.
On the music front, BTS Jimin’s song Slow Dance ft. Sofia Carson has officially crossed 100 million streams on Spotify, becoming his 16th track to hit the milestone.
