The year 2025 has finally begun and it is already set to be an exciting year as we see the return of our favourite Korean celebrities return from their military service and put an end to a long-term hiatus. With K-pop groups like BTS and EXO preparing for a full group comeback after all the members complete their military service this year, fans are already excited about the explosion of Korean content that is soon to happen this year. On the other hand, K-drama fans are also looking forward to this year as many actors are returning to the scene with their military discharge.
Coming back to the K-pop groups, there is no doubt that BTS ARMYs and EXO’s EXO-Ls are the fandoms who are holding onto this year with the most anticipation. As these two highly popular groups are preparing to return with full strength this year, the K-pop industry is sure to be filled with excitement unlike any other. Thus, 2025 is already set to be a wonderful year for fans around the world because when these two groups are returning in the same year when GOT7 is making a comeback right in the beginning, an explosion is also an understatement at this point.
Moving on, with The Glory and Exhuma actor Lee Do-hyun and My Demon actor Song Kang completing their military service this year, K-drama fans are also set for an intriguing flood of entertainment. While the actors undoing military discharge this year may not be able to provide us with some entertaining shows this year, seeing them back is already exciting us because this only means that there is going to be an entertaining year following 2025.
