BTS Military Discharge Delayed Indefinitely? ARMY Stunned by President Yoon Suk-yeol’s Martial Law Declaration
On December 3 and 4, online communities and social media platforms were flooded with worried reactions from ARMY and netizens about the discharge dates of BTS members currently serving in the military.
Fans shared posts such as, “Please let our Jimin discharge safely,” “Our boys are just days away from discharge,” “Does a delay mean their discharge dates will be pushed back?” and “BTS discharge delayed indefinitely?” expressing their anxiety over the situation.
Currently, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook are serving in active duty, while Suga is fulfilling his alternative service as a social service agent. Jin, who was the first to enlist, was discharged in June, followed by J-Hope in October. Suga is set to complete his service on June 21, 2025, with RM and V scheduled for discharge on June 10, and Jimin and Jungkook on June 11 of the same year.
However, following President Yoon Suk-yeol’s martial law declaration at 10:24 PM (KST) on December 3, the discharge dates of active-duty soldiers, including BTS members, were delayed, causing widespread concern among fans.
Later, at around 1 AM on December 4, the National Assembly passed a resolution to lift martial law with unanimous support from 190 lawmakers present. President Yoon Suk-yeol revoked the martial law declaration approximately six hours later, at 4:30 AM the same day.
The Ministry of National Defense announced, “With the lifting of martial law, the postponement of active-duty soldier discharges has been canceled,” adding that “All measures implemented during martial law have been rescinded.” This confirmed that the BTS members’ discharge schedules would proceed as planned, providing relief to ARMY.
