[talk] Even the military service period is in its golden age! BTS's endless influence continues with each member's solo activities.

2025 was a "military retreat" for the BTS members, a time when they temporarily took a break from group activities. However, I could feel that their influence hadn't diminished in the slightest. In fact, the individual members' brilliant activities seemed to further enhance the group's aura.

First up, there was our worldwide handsome Jin! It was truly moving to hear that his first mini-album, "HAPPY," re-entered the Billboard charts in December 2025. This is proof that, even during his military service, his musical talents are consistently recognized and loved by fans around the world. Jin's warm tone and heartfelt music bring great comfort and happiness to listeners, demonstrating just how solid his foundation as an artist is.

And we can't forget about our golden maknae, Jungkook! Isn't it truly a source of pride to hear that his YouTube Topic channel has surpassed 4 million subscribers, making him the most subscribed K-pop solo artist? He's also demonstrated his unrivaled presence as a solo artist, broadening his musical spectrum and demonstrating tremendous influence on digital platforms. His stage presence and star quality continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Also, the news that V, Jimin, and Jungkook were named to the "100 Richest People Under 30" list of listed stock owners was truly surprising! They showed that they are smart artists with not only musical talent but also financial acumen and foresight. This positive influence not only had a positive impact on fans but also on the public, further solidifying their status as "world stars."

And in the December 2025 idol individual brand reputation rankings, our members' presence was unwavering. Jimin took first place, Jungkook second, and Jin sixth, proving their unwavering popularity even during their military service! The fact that each member possesses such unique charm and impact is so powerful truly fills me with pride as a fan.

In conclusion, during their military service, the BTS members didn't simply rest; they focused on solo activities that maximized their individual strengths and charms, growing as artists and steadily expanding their influence through consistent communication with fans. This is precisely why BTS is considered "amazing even during their military service," and perhaps this is the driving force behind their anticipated 2026 full-group comeback!
