The livestream, which lasted 30 minutes, quickly went viral—garnering over 7.3 million real-time views—and featured an announcement that thrilled fans: a new full-length album and a global world tour are coming in spring 2026.
All seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—were present, making this their first joint broadcast since completing military service. Recording for the album will begin in July 2025 in the U.S., with members emphasizing their renewed spirit and commitment to reconnecting with their roots.

“I couldn’t hold my tears 😔
“Crying, giggling, laughing like a maniac”
“I’m so incredibly happy to see them together again 💜”
The excitement was palpable. Some fans even shared frustration about missing the live moment due to work, underscoring BTS's power to bring life to a standstill—even for 30 minutes.
A Comeback That Could Reshape K-pop Again
With the announcement of a 2026 world tour and the group’s first album since 2020’s “BE”, BTS is officially in comeback mode. Their return not only marks a new chapter in their career but also reignites their cultural and economic influence on a global scale.
