More about Bastions

For the unversed, Bastions will recount the tale of superheroes battling environmental pollution. The first episode will air on SBS on May 14 at 7:30 KST. BTS, as a group, is currently on hiatus as the members have to fulfill their mandatory military service. 

Earlier, BTS members were given the exemption from serving in the military for some time. 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.

Talking about their comeback as a group, Bang Si-hyuk - founder of BigHit, shared that fans should not put all their hopes on the promised comeback in 2025. He added that he was unable to guarantee a "promised year" since BTS and HYBE would need time to get ready following members' military service.
