While ARMYs (that’s the name BTS fans have) anticipate his return, many have taken to social platforms to express their excitement. And despite the idol leaving the K-pop scene to serve his country, he made sure to keep fans happy with his second album “Right Place, Wrong Person” and the film “Right People, Wrong Place,” which dropped during his military time. These two gems eased off the wait, making fans hopeful about his return.
