For over a decade since their debut, BTS has not only been a music group but also a true family – a place where each member has lived, worked, grown, and accompanied one another through every stage of ups and downs. Even though in the past three years the members have had to pursue solo activities due to military service, they have always looked toward BTS as a group.
This shows just how important being together is to them—not merely a career choice, but also soмєтнing with deep emotional meaning. j-hope himself expressed immense happiness about reuniting with the members in the U.S. during his recent livestream: “Now that I'm with the members, I laugh a lot. The laughter doesn't stop. Everyone's so funny. We're eating so well and we all eat together. How long has it been since we do everything like eating all together?”
It is known that j-hope departed for BTS’s creative camp in Los Angeles a few days ago to join the other members in preparing for their upcoming group album scheduled for release next spring. Clearly, the reunion of BTS members is not only exciting for fans but also a precious, healing moment for the members themselves.
Especially, in one of j-hope’s later sharings, he highlighted how he found recovery thanks to Jimin’s presence. He melted fans’ hearts with his affectionate words about his younger brother: “Jiminie is so funny. Really, he’s so funny. Park Jimin is my laugh button. When I’m having a hard time or am so tired, I just poke Jimin’s body and he makes me laugh.”
This comment was quickly and widely shared across social media platforms, further highlighting the close bond and deep connection not only between j-hope and Jimin but among all the members. The members themselves are a source of healing energy for one another after a long time apart and enduring pressure alone.
RM is also one of the members who has “recovered” the most while being with the other BTS members. According to j-hope’s revelation in the same livestream, the leader has been sleeping very well these days in the U.S. This is a stark contrast to the time when RM personally shared that he had suffered from severe insomnia throughout his military service, and even after being discharged, he still needed medication and continued to fear the nighttime, unable to sleep properly.
"Just a little bit ago, I ate with Namjoon. I've been eating with him and seeing him a lot. And Yoongi-hyung was there too. He ate with me first and then went up. And I was eating with Namjoon and then we talked", j-hope also talked about the recent daily lives of the members.
Many fans commented that they felt “comforted” after hearing what j-hope said. And that very feeling has also become a healing balm for fans—those who have waited more than three years to see the seven pieces of BTS come together in full once again:
- My jiminie and jwehope. Poke Jimin, instant happiness
- Jimin isn’t just adorable — he’s literally Hobi’s personal “laugh button”
- The way Hobi recharges his soul by poking Jimin like a teddy bear. Too precious!
- Jimin really is the ultimate mood booster or pure serotonin! I think this's why Namjoon can sleep better too
- jimin is the sweetest he really makes everyone happy around him and is always there for the members and armys i will protect this baby he’s so precious
- Jimin being Hobi’s laugh button is the cutest thing ever
- I’m so happy they’re all together again. The laughter, the healing—it’s so real.
- Their bond is beyond music. It’s family. It’s love
- The way j-hope talks about Jimin… that’s pure comfort and trust
- Seeing Hobi smile like that because of the members warms my heart.
- This is why BTS is different. The connection they have with each other is unbreakable.
