All seven members of BTS have renewed their contracts with Hybe and BigHit Music.
The news came after their agency, Hybe, shared a statement with South Korean media yesterday (20 Sep).
They shared that the board of directors have passed the resolution to renew the exclusive contracts with all seven members.
BTS now comprises members RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
Hybe said: “With the contract renewal, we will be able to work together on BTS’ full-fledged activities, which we hope to do so in 2025”.

According to South Korean media outlet Sports Chosun, BigHit Music will renew the contracts of each of the seven members individually.
They will also take their military service status into account, for some members who are currently in force.
Members Jin enlisted last December, J-Hope in April 2023, and Suga will be enlisting on 22 Sep (Fri).

Members serving their mandatory military duties are estimated to complete service in 2025. That is when their new exclusive contracts begin.
Shortly after the news of the renewal of contracts was released, the group’s leader RM posted on Instagram Stories on 20 Sep (Wed) a photo of a snippet of his contract, and another with the caption “#ARMY” and “2025”.
The issue of enlistment has always been a buzzing topic amongst fans.
However, the boys stood firm in their decision that “they will accept the call of duty when the nation calls for them”.
The group had previously renewed their contracts with BigHit Music in 2018, one year ahead of their contracts’ expiry, after their debut in 2013.
