Member Jin was discharged from the army in mid-2024 and quickly returned to activities with the solo album "Happy" and the program "Run Jin", creating a big buzz both domestically and internationally.

Meanwhile, J-Hope has also achieved significant success. He made a strong impression with the single "Sweet Dreams" in collaboration with Miguel and carried out his solo tour "Hope on the Stage" until June 2025. In addition, J-Hope has become a familiar face at global fashion events, contributing to maintaining his personal appeal during the group's hiatus.

The next two BTS members, Jimin and Jungkook, are expected to be discharged from the military on June 11 in Yeoncheon. For safety reasons, BigHit Music has advised fans to avoid large gatherings at military areas.

During BTS's hiatus, BLACKPINK maintained their popularity and status as the "K-Pop queen" with impressive achievements. After the resounding success of the BORN PINK world tour, all four members Jennie, Lisa , Jisoo and Rosé continuously appeared at prestigious fashion events and became global ambassadors for many luxury brands.

Despite not renewing their individual contracts with YG Entertainment, all four girls have confirmed that they will continue their group activities. This move not only shows BLACKPINK's increasing autonomy but also a flexible strategy to help the group maintain and develop their global brand.

Both BTS and BLACKPINK are K-pop giants, with tens of millions of fans worldwide, the ability to sell out tickets in a flash, and a huge impact on popular culture. However, BTS has the advantage in terms of music production, with many members directly involved in composing, arranging, and shaping the message. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK dominates the fields of fashion and mass media, with influence spreading to Europe and Latin America.

This "clash" is not just about the numbers on the charts. This is a race about brand sustainability, strategy, and fan engagement. With the return of all members, BTS promises to create an "earthquake" that can shake the K-pop map once again. Will BTS be able to "balance" BLACKPINK, or will BLACKPINK continue to hold the throne? The answer is coming soon, and the year is predicted to be one of the most memorable years in K-pop history.
