BTS stars Jimin and Jungkook have officially completed their 18-month mandatory military service—and they’re already reconnecting with fans in the most heartwarming way. The duo shared their first post-discharge photo, a mirror selfie taken at HYBE headquarters, sending BTS ARMY into a wave of excitement.
A Symbolic Selfie From Jimin and Jungkook
After their discharge on June 11, Jimin and Jungkook returned to BTS FESTA 2025 activities, where they were warmly welcomed by BIGHIT staff and fellow members. The two then shared a mirror selfie dressed in their military uniforms, flashing peace signs and smiles.
Jungkook’s tattoos were proudly on display, while Jimin’s signature gentle expression captured fans’ hearts. But what truly stood out in the photo was a message written on the mirror:
“Don’t worry, I’m on my way to claim you back.”
This phrase, originally written by Jimin with a white marker in 2023, now serves as a touching signal to the BTS ARMY that the group is ready to return, reclaim their bond with fans, and launch into the next chapter of their journey together.
ARMY Wants More: Photo Booth Pics, Please!
Fans were overjoyed to see the new photo but are already asking for more. During a recent Weverse live session, Jungkook teased a four-cut selfie strip he took with Jimin at the 2025 BTS FESTA photo booth. Since then, fans have been flooding social media with requests for the full set of images in HD.
Comments like “I HOPE THEY POST IT OMG” and direct tags to BIGHIT MUSIC and BTS’ official X (formerly Twitter) account have dominated fan circles. The mirror selfie only intensified the anticipation for these long-awaited photo booth moments.
With all seven members expected to regroup soon, and Jimin and Jungkook now officially back, BTS ARMY can look forward to a new era of music, content, and fan interaction. For now, fans wait eagerly for those photobooth pics—and whatever surprises BTS has in store next.
