BTS group comeback
Talking about the BTS group comeback, BigHit founder and HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk earlier explained they can’t guarantee a "promised year" since BTS and HYBE would need time to get ready following BTS members' military service.
Earlier, BTS members were given the exemption from serving in the military for sometime. However, it was confirmed in October last year that the seven-member group will have to fulfill the compulsory military service. Group’s oldest member Jin is currently enlisted. Meanwhile, J-hope has also started his military enlistment process.
