18-Month Hiatus for BTS Comes to an End

After 18 long months, Jin, the eldest member of the world-renowned K-Pop group BTS, has finally completed his mandatory military service in South Korea. The news marks the end of an extended hiatus for BTS, which had been on pause since December 2022 as members departed for their military obligations.

Jin, whose real name is Kim Seokjin, was the first BTS member to enlist in December 2022. Since then, the band has been on hiatus as the other members gradually began their own military service.
