As V, RM, Jimin, and Jungkook from BTS embark on their military enlistment, fans bid them a heartfelt farewell. In a poignant turn of events, the iconic BTS track Spring Day made an emotional resurgence, claiming the top spot on the U.S. iTunes chart. Billboard further solidified its enduring popularity, confirming its No. 1 position on the World Digital Song Sales chart for an impressive 63 non-consecutive weeks.

The World Digital Song Sales chart also witnessed the resurgence of other BTS classics, including Outro: Tear at No. 2, No More Dream at No. 6, and Louder Than Bombs at No. 8. Additionally, the title track from WINGS secured the 5th position on the Digital Song Sales chart, while Outro: Tear debuted impressively at No. 22, showcasing BTS's enduring impact even years after their initial release.

Amidst their military duties, BTS gifts their devoted ARMYs with BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, an eight-part series delving into their lives beyond fame. With the members expected to return in 2025, the ARMY stands unwaveringly, expressing steadfast support for BTS during this temporary hiatus.

More recently, BTS' agency, on behalf of the septet's prominent member Jimin, released his heartfelt solo track for the ARMYs, Closer than this, on the morning of December 22 IST. The soft-melodious track came as a consolation for the fans, reminding them not to worry as BTS' enlistment is just a "comma" until they reunite with fans celebrating their "spring" together.
