BTS rapper J-Hope recently opened up about the highly anticipated reunion of BTS during an interview on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1. With members RM, Suga, Jimin, V, and Jungkook scheduled to complete their mandatory military service in June 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting the group’s comeback.
Reflecting on BTS’s journey, J-Hope emphasized how each member has developed a unique artistic identity through solo projects during the group’s hiatus.
