This winter is undoubtedly the warmest and happiest one ARMY have experienced in the past three years. Completely different from the quiet, subdued atmosphere of previous winters, BTS’s return has brought a wave of positive, lively energy spreading across the globe almost every day. From individual livestreams to full-group gatherings, fans are once again reliving the familiar “happy days” alongside BTS.
Following a series of rapper-line livestreams within 24 hours, on December 30, six BTS members met fans once again through a three-minute Weverse Live broadcast to celebrate V’s birthday. At the start of the live, V shared an adorably honest reason for pulling the members into the frame: “The reason why I wanted to do it (live) with members is coz it's boring to do it alone, there's nothing much to talk too.”
Maknae Jungkook immediately added a humorous explanation of how they were “forced” into it: “We just practiced the choreography and we were going home..” j-hope then chimed in, laughing, “And he (Taehyung) dragged us here.”
Alongside the familiar chaotic scenes whenever the members gather, a sweet and heartfelt atmosphere also filled the broadcast as they shared their New Year’s wishes. Jin sent a sincere message to fans around the world: "I really hope that our ARMY, all of you, do really, really well. Always, I hope all these happy people will always be here". He also brought up a meaningful group tradition: "And us members, this time, we have to take another family photo. We have our members’ zone, but there’s no photo from this year".
Meanwhile, Jungkook openly expressed his eagerness for the group’s official comeback next year: "Hurry and come back, so that, like, we can just promote and I want to."
The story could have ended on this touching note of New Year’s wishes—but of course, that wouldn’t be BTS. In true BTS's style, an awkwardly hilarious moment soon followed!
Just as V was about to turn off the camera, leader RM suddenly shouted “Gang!” while making an unusual hand gesture. In an instant, the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a second. The other members all whipped their heads around to stare at RM with sharp looks that practically screamed, “Stop him right now!” or “What on earth is he doing?” Even funnier, RM could only respond with an embarrαѕѕed, sheepish grin as he tried to play it off under the group’s intense glares.
For longtime fans, the meaning was immediately clear: this could only be one thing—RM had once again α¢¢ι∂єитally spoiled soмєтнing related to the new album or upcoming choreography.
What made the situation both funny and endearing was the fact that just two days earlier, RM had been extremely firm when fans tried to coax spoilers out of him. He had confidently declared, “Can we get some spoilers?? NO!! I’m sorry. Because if I start spoiling, I talk too much.”
And yet, as the saying goes, man plans, RM spoils. The nickname “Spoiler King” seems to be etched into the talented leader’s DNA. From α¢¢ι∂єитally blurting out song titles to unintentionally revealing melo∂ιєs during past livestreams, RM once again proved that no matter how hard he tries, he remains the number-one “threat” to the company’s confidentiality plans.
Currently, a short clip capturing BTS’s “panic-stricken” reactions to RM’s action is going viral on social media, with fans flooding the comments section with humorous reactions such as:
- Based on their reactions, I bet my left pinkie that "GANG" is a spoiler. SO hilarous my Namjoonie
- I bet that hand pose is part of the choreo too. Jinnie literally looked at Joonie like, ‘I give up—what is even happening?’
- and there soмєтнing definitely "skrrttt skrtttt" in their music. namjoon keeps doing it
- Their reaction says it all !!!!!!! SPOILER. Our Namjoon's so cute

- Jimin being the first to look at him makes your observation TRUE
- Every word that comes outta their mouth is a spoiler atp
- Seokjin almost кιℓℓed joon with his eyes. Our Joon's too adorable, I can't handle this
- As always, Namjoon never disappoints us. Our spoiler king
- Im going crazy please namjoon a sixty second live with max two spoilers thats all I'm asking for
- With the way Jin, Jimin, and Jungkook immediately looked at Namjoon I'm betting a billion dollars that this was a spoiler
