Yeah, the maturity is showing! Now they don’t have to pretend like they love everything that gets thrown at them, yet still go through with it for the entertainment value. I’m really glad they had their military experience. (Although before fall of 2022 I might have been rooting for exemption.) I think it gave them a much-needed break from the kpop grind, even though service is a grind of its own. I feel they are in a position now to approach the rest of their lives and careers on their own terms. All of them having unique experiences doing solo work will also inform future decisions as a group. I’m so proud of them! We are very lucky to have all the past content to enjoy and so much to look forward to in 2025 and beyond!
I love that so much for them, because they are damn ass grown men, and that is who I want them to be. Just themselves. No more, no less. The military was awful, but I bet it helped them be themselves again, even under tough circumstances. They needed a reset.
Definitely looking forward to new contact, with the mature look and sound. I became a big fan because they brought so much joy to their work and their fans. I hope they are happy in their lives, whichever path they choose.

Same. I just want the best for them. Whatever they choose. Even if Jin chooses a fish. :)
