BTS has officially renewed its contracts with their agency, now known as Hybe Corporation. On September 20th, the seven members of BTS, namely RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, came together to solidify their commitment to the group's future endeavors.
This collective renewal, as confirmed by South Korea's esteemed news agency, Yonhap, marks a significant milestone in the group's journey. Initially, the plan was to have each member sign exclusive contracts individually and sequentially. However, the decision to unify their commitment is a testament to their unwavering bond and shared vision.
Notably, this renewal encompasses all members, even those currently fulfilling mandatory military service duties. Jin and J-Hope are diligently serving as assistant instructors, while SUGA embarked on his military journey in Seoul on the 22nd of September. Leader RM made the renewal announcement public on his Instagram account on the 20th, reinforcing his dedication to BTS's collective goals.
This announcement carries profound implications not only for the group but also for HYBE Corporation. BTS is undeniably HYBE's most valuable intellectual property, and securing their commitment for the future is a substantial triumph. Speculation now abounds that the group will resume full-scale activities as a complete unit in 2025, once all members have completed their military service obligations.
