K-pop sensation Jin, the oldest member of BTS, finished his mandatory military service in South Korea, reuniting with his bandmates in an emotional livestreamed event. The group, known for hits like "Dynamite," has been on hold as members fulfill their military obligations. South Korea requires service for all men between 18 and 28 due to its ongoing conflict with North Korea. Despite arguments for exemption due to their cultural impact, BTS members enrolled gradually, with Jin being the first to return. The remaining members are set to complete their service by June 2025, allowing the band to reunite. Fans were urged not to visit Jin on his release day, but excitement remains high for his return. With Jin back, BTS is poised to resume their global music reign.
