The golden maknae is almost home — and BTS ARMY is ready. As Jungkook prepares to be discharged from military service on June 11, 2025, fans are making sure he feels the love with a grand and emotional welcome.

In a heartfelt tribute, 50 banners have been placed around Jungkook’s military base, each one filled with messages of support, pride, and excitement. The fan-led initiative is part of a growing wave of celebrations as the countdown to BTS’s long-awaited reunion officially begins.

A Symbolic Moment for ARMY

For millions of fans around the world, Jungkook’s return marks a symbolic turning point. The youngest BTS member, known for his powerhouse vocals and emotional performances, has been deeply missed. His military enlistment in December 2023 was a moment of both pride and heartbreak — but now, joy is taking over.

“We’ve waited patiently and proudly. Now it’s finally time to say, ‘Welcome back, Jungkook!’” wrote one fan on X, where hashtags like #WelcomeBackJungkook and #JungkookIsComingHome are trending globally.

Banners of Love

The 50 banners, placed strategically near his base, include heartfelt messages such as:

• “The stars shine brighter when you’re back, Jungkook.”

• “Thank you for your service. We missed you every day.”

• “The Golden Maknae returns — stronger, prouder, and forever loved.”

ARMY fanbases coordinated the effort with local authorities to ensure the display followed regulations and respected the surrounding community.

A Full BTS Reunion on the Horizon

With Jin and J-Hope already discharged and Jimin, RM, V, SUGA, and now Jungkook all nearing the end of their service, the long-anticipated BTS reunion is coming into view. As part of the group’s ongoing 2025 FESTA celebrations, fans are hopeful that a full-group message or surprise appearance could be on the way soon.

Jungkook’s return on June 11 is more than just the end of his service — it’s the beginning of BTS’s next era.
