✅ When is Jimin and Jungkook’s Discharge Day?
BTS members Jimin and Jungkook are expected to be discharged from their military service on the same day: June 11, 2025 (Wednesday). They both enlisted in December 2023 and have served as active-duty soldiers in the Army.
📅 Date: June 11, 2025
⏰ Time: Between 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM (KST)
🪖 Type: Standard army discharge (현역 전역)
Note: Korean military discharges usually take place in the early morning, and are not big public events. But fans often gather outside the base to welcome their favorite artists.
✅ Where Will They Be Discharged?
As of the latest reports, both Jimin and Jungkook have been serving in the 5th Infantry Division (제5보병사단), the same unit as Jin, the eldest BTS member.
📍 Likely Discharge Location: 5th Infantry Division Base (Hwacheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea)
📌 Address (Korean): 강원특별자치도 화천군 사내면
🚌 Travel Time from Seoul: About 2–2.5 hours by car or bus
⚠️ Warning: Military bases are not open to the public. Fans should stay outside the gate and follow military and staff guidance.
✅ Can Fans Visit the Site?
Yes, but with caution. Many fans want to see BTS members on discharge day, but this is not an official fan event. There's no stage, no performances – just a brief moment when the members exit the gate.
- Arrive early – by 7:00 AM is safest
- Bring signs or banners, but no shouting or running
- Respect local and military rules at all times
- Pack water, sunscreen, and wear comfortable clothes
💡 Tip: Korean ARMYs often livestream from the location. If you can’t be there in person, you can still join online!
✅ How to Watch the Discharge Live (for International Fans)
