In the latest episode of Jung Jae Hyung‘s YouTube show on his Fairy Jae Hyung channel, BTS‘s J-Hope was treated to a delicious meal while giving what the ARMYs have since dubbed his “best interview” yet.
While talking about his fellow members still serving their military duties, J-Hope hinted that, once everyone gets discharged in June 2025, whole group activities are likely to happen.
Jung Jae Hyung: So, RM is still enlisted and… Aren’t the other members still in the military?
J-Hope: Right. They’ll be discharged in June, so…
Jung Jae Hyung: …You guys already have things planned, don’t you?
J-Hope: W-well… That is… Um…
Jung Jae Hyung: We’re getting group activities right away, huh?
J-Hope: It’s in the making. We have to be meticulous about it, so…
Jung Jae Hyung: I love it! So, as soon as everyone gets out of the military, will things be happening quickly?
J-Hope: As soon as everyone gets out of the military… I believe we’ll be preparing for various BTS-related activities.
Then, later in the interview, J-Hope referred to “all seven members,” unknowingly answereing some ARMYs’ burning question…
Jung Jae Hyung: I think it’s incredible that the members are constantly working on their own music, squeezing them in between group activities. It must be very motivating, that kind of healthy competition. Must make you proud, I think?
J-Hope: Yes, but then again… There are seven of us. ‘Squeezing in’ an album at the right time is so challenging!
Jung Jae Hyung: Oh, I bet.
J-Hope: Each of the seven has completely different styles. We like different things and we now have our own preferences. We’re working with different timelines… So it has been challenging to keep our schedules seamless.
Jung Jae Hyung: Challenging, but so meaningful.
…one following Suga’s DUI scandal from August 2024.
Since the news of his investigation, and long after the case closed as he was sentenced to a fine, Suga received backlash and was met with demands from his own fandom to withdraw from the group.
Wreaths Calling For BTS Suga’s Withdrawal Sent To HYBE
The Fairy Jae Hyung episode, seemingly “confirming OT7,” has divided K-ARMYs all over again. Across online communities, comments got heated between those who still called for Suga’s removal vs. those who have moved on to forgive and/or embrace.
- “I’ve been waiting for the full group comeback, but… If they return together, I feel like they’ll get criticized, and it’s already exhausting…”
- “Looking forward to it.”
- “Let them handle it on their own. Suga isn’t leaving BTS. People who want to hate will hate, and those who’ll support will support. TBH, I’m kind of excited.”
- “Do we know for sure if Suga can’t be on national channels, though? I didn’t see him on the ban list.”
- “I’m holding on, waiting for the BTS full-group comeback.”
- “Looking forward to the full group comeback!”
- “
6-Bangtan hwaiting! ” - “Counting down for OT7.”
- “I’m looking forward to 6-Bangtan. Suga needs to leave.”
- “People say stanning OT7 is not normal… Fine, then. I’ll be not normal for a long, long time.”
- “It must be driving the haters crazy hearing J-Hope say there are SEVEN of them. LOL.”
- “Even when J-Hope himself saying BTS is 7. Those of you are still insisting on 6-Bangtan should just leave the fandom.”
- “If J-Hope says it’s 7, then it’s 7. OT7 ”
- “Leave the criminal out of it.”
- “Wow… So much support for OT7, LOL.”
- “I can’t wait to see the full group comeback soon. ”
- “Those rooting for OT7 are just as shameless as the criminal member. I’m all for 6-Bangtan.”
