The day of Jungkook’s military discharge was marred by a security breach, as a break-in attempt occurred at his Seoul residence on June 12. A Chinese woman in her thirties was apprehended for attempting to gain access to the property by using the door code. The police reported that the individual had specifically traveled to South Korea to meet Jungkook. The police were alerted by the alarm system and during questioning, the woman stated she had come to see Jungkook following his discharge. The event coincided with Jungkook and Jimin’s official discharge from mandatory service, an event celebrated by the fans and media at Yeoncheon Public Stadium. The reunion was marked by an emotional moment as Jungkook and Jimin appeared in uniform and saluted the crowd. RM and V’s discharge on June 10, coupled with the earlier releases of Jin and J-Hope in 2024, are precursors to the full comeback of BTS. Suga is slated to complete his military service on June 21. The imminent end to the enlistment period has spurred global anticipation for new music, concerts, and public appearances. HYBE’s message “WE ARE BACK” at its Seoul headquarters underscores the new phase of the group’s career. While the day brought concern for Jungkook’s safety, it was also a day of joy and excitement for the ARMYs worldwide, as the seven-member group edges closer to its highly-anticipated reunion.
