It’s hard to believe, but we are just six days away from one of the most highly anticipated moments in ARMY history, the return of Min Yoongi aka SUGA or Agust D from his mandatory military service.

The countdown is on. The excitement is real. The silence is about to break!

A Quiet Storm: Yoongi’s Time Away

When Yoongi enlisted as a public service worker quietly in September 2023, fans around the world knew the wait would be tough. Known for his razor-sharp production skills, low-key endearing personality, and his introspective lyrics, Yoongi’s presence has always been a grounding force in BTS.

Even though Yoongi’s military role kept him somewhat under the radar than his active-duty bandmates, his absence was deeply felt. From the raw honesty of his solo work as Agust D to his soft-spoken humour on shows like Suchwita, Yoongi is more than just a rapper; he is a brother, storyteller, and a heartbeat in BTS.

The Return We’ve Been Waiting For

Now, after months of patiently waiting, the finish line is very much in sight. June 20th, 2025, marks the official date that Yoongi will be discharged from the military, and it comes with a sense of renewal, not just for BTS, but also for ARMY worldwide.

This return is especially meaningful, as Yoongi will be the last member to complete his service, making the full group’s reunion possible. It signals a new chapter, one full of emotional reconnection, creative potential, and the kind of innovation that only BTS can deliver.

What’s Next?

Whilst nothing is confirmed yet, there is little doubt that BTS has big plans. Fans speculate about everything from world tours, to documentaries to the long-awaited OT7 comeback album and new content featuring all seven members together again.

Before we jump too far ahead, though, these next six days are about savouring the moment and reflecting on how much Yoongi has given us, through his quiet strength, his unapologetic authenticity, and through his music.

The wait is almost over.
Yoongi is coming home.
BTS is coming back.
And the world is about to feel whole again!
