ARMY, it’s almost time to pop the confetti because Jungkook, BTS’ youngest, is officially just 7 days away from completing his military service! The golden maknae enlisted on December 12, 2023, joining the South Korean army’s 5th Infantry Division. And get this: June 11, 2025, is the magical date when he’s finally getting discharged. That’s right, Jungkook is trading in his camo for a possible comeback! Fans are now losing it online, especially after a viral post joked about him rising from a coffin like a K-pop phoenix, using a scene from the “Seven” music video.

Jungkook didn’t enter this chapter alone. He enlisted alongside Jimin, and the duo entered the base together, trained together, and joined the same unit. And yes, they’ll be discharged together too. Talk about friendship goals! Even before his enlistment, Jungkook had fans weeping during a heartfelt Weverse live, where he admitted feeling “uneasy” but determined. “I’ll come back safely,” he promised. He’s clearly kept that promise, pushing through tough training and active-duty life in the barracks like a champ.

The path to service was paved by BTS’ eldest, Jin, who enlisted in December 2022 and was discharged June 11, 2024 — exactly one year before Jungkook’s turn to clock out. J-Hope followed and completed his duty in October 2024. RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga will all be discharged on approximately similar dates, ranging from mid to late June 2025. So mark your calendars, ARMY: June 11 is more than just a date — it’s a whole celebration. Jungkook is on his way back, and the world better be ready!
