"I think it'll be unbelievable… I think 2022 was the last time we were together as a group, and when we do reunite, it’ll be after four years. The level of anticipation from fans is really high—and honestly, I’m curious myself about how it’ll feel once we’re back together after military service", he said.
Both the previous interview and the recent airport exchange clearly captured j-hope's emotions - representing the feelings of all fans as the countdown to BTS's comeback slowly ticks down!
