Additional into on the contract renewal reported yesterday [in this thread](https://twitter.com/tmikpop/status/1706291029442220390?t=Z0N0wD4J8IbXkxGdWzARyw&s=19). What is significant is Hybe’s statement [trans by TMIKPop](https://twitter.com/tmikpop/status/1706446996670648470?t=QZjWIWcGpZi2cZhH4PCtWg&s=19) on the enlistment plans
>[Hybe] shared that BTS members Jin, J-Hope and Suga are currently serving in the military and the remaining members will announce their enlistment plans sequentially within this year.
I know they’ve said time and time again that by 2025 they will be back (and with 3 in already) but to see it so set in stone is so weird (in a good way!)
They really are changing the way groups handle enlistment.
This has been my assumption all along. I know we’re not supposed to speculate, but I feel like at this point any speculation is at least somewhat based on reality.
I would not be surprised to see the last 4 go in pairs. I think we’ll know something for sure around Jimin’s birthday.
You know what just rip the bandaid 😭
My heart started beating faster just thinking about having none of them for any given amount of time. SIGH. I know it’s coming, but damn it’s hard.
I knew it’d happen like this – they’ve been so vocal about it – but I just realised we’re almost in the final quarter of 2023, which means things will move very, very quickly from here.
ARMY, let’s prepare our hearts. We’ve got this – we’ve got each other, and Jin is more than halfway through. Still, I think a little emotional preparation is in order.
Would like to add that this doesn’t mean they’ll (the last 4) will be gone by 12/31, just that they’ll probably all have announced they’ve cancelled official postponement and applied for enlistment.
I still feel like Feb/early March will be the latest for them 🙂
honestly at this point maybe it’s better if the 4 of them all enlist together just so we don’t have to go through this emotional rollercoaster again another 4 times.
just reminding myself that the faster they go, the faster we get ot7 back together again 🥹
I love the firmness of this – not only a solid confirmation that they are sticking with HYBE/BH & Bang PD but also the serious intent with regards to their enlistment. 💜
As I commented above I do think that some won’t actually enter/start service until early ish 2024. But I’ve known to be wrong. 😉💜
I am interested to see what BH has in store for us while they are all away – until Jin comes back … my wallet *(and heart)* might not survive. 😂
Another announcement is coming soon I fear. I wouldn’t be surprised if two of them end up going together
it’s been said + indicated that it would probably be this way for a while now.. but it doesn’t make it any easier to hear it in such a final and official way 😭 fingers crossed for safe, content, and speedy services for all of them
I expected Namjoon to have announced at least a month ago. Every day I am surprised he hasn’t made the announcement.
At this rate, perhaps we will get only one Hello This is BigHit message, announcing that all four of them have revoked their extension. That’s better than getting 4 shots to the heart, I think.
I feel loved through how generously forthcoming they are with their plans. I also love how much they’re working together and coordinating so they can reunite sooner 💜 bora life forever!!!!!
No but the way they planned this enlistment out is just so genius. We still have 1 more album left this year, and in the first half of next year I assume they’ll release the documentary? Then seokjin comes back in june and he’ll probably release something by the end of the year. Hobi will be back in october and he might do something in early 2025, which will carry armys till the ot7 reunion. We’re hardly getting a chance to miss them lol
Oh this just broke me.. I really convinced myself that the maknae line at least won’t enlist until early this year..
I know logically the faster the better.. but this means there’ll be at least 6 months with no bangtan members🥹🥹
Edit: Damn this is so silly I’m actually crying lol. It’s not like I’m very shocked but it just hit me.. Also *who* said it gets better with time cause I’m feeling the exact same way I felt last December😭
i’m honestly kind of relieved to hear this, to be honest. now that we’re IN enlistment era i just want it to be over, which means the members going in sooner rather than later. jin being over halfway done is such a relief, as is knowing we’ll have two members back by the end of next year. at this stage, i know it’s painful having them go in (and my bias hasn’t even gone yet, so it’s only going to get harder for me personally), but i’d honestly just rather rip the plaster off and have them all go now so they’re one step closer to coming back.
i’m honestly very surprised jimin hasn’t gone, i honestly thought he’d go with yoongi (but as yoongi’s not doing active service i guess it’s slightly different). i’m definitely subscribing to the idea that he’s got another mini release planned before he goes, otherwise he would’ve just gone. it might just be for his documentary release so he can promote that, but the fact that he was photographed with all those producers last year and those collabs weren’t on face makes me think something’s cooking.
i haven’t been able to find anything on this – if you enlist at the same time as someone else, is there any chance you can actually be stationed together? like taehyung and jungkook have always said they want to go the military together – i’ve always assumed that just means go at the same time but is there a chance that any of the members could actually fulfil their service together if they enlist together? i would guess not but i’d love to know more if anyone knows anything?
