With all seven members having completed their military service, BTS has officially announced their plans to resume activities as a full group. They will begin working on a full album in July, move to the United States to work, and also plan to go on a world tour in the spring of 2026.
BTS, with all members discharged from the military, including SUGA, who completed his military service at the end of last month, publicly reunited through a Weverse live broadcast on the evening of July 1. Leader RM said, "We plan to focus on group activities and work together in July and August," and "We are currently preparing a full album with the goal of releasing it in the spring of next year."
The next full-length album will be the first official full-length album in about four years since the 2022 compilation album 'Proof'. Furthermore, the members stated that they consider this comeback not as a simple comeback but as 'returning to the starting point', and they prioritize sincerity and perfection for both the album and performances.
Meanwhile, in response to the press, a representative of Big Hit Music explained the news, saying, "The specific schedule will be revealed later" and "We will start full-scale group activities starting from July." All eyes are on what BTS's new journey, which is starting again, will bring to the global music market.
On the other hand, during the 30-minute broadcast, BTS also talked about their upcoming activities in the second half of the year. In the meantime, Jin will continue his fan concert tour of '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR', which started in Goyang on the 28th and 29th of last month.
Members who watched the performance live left comments praising the group's eldest member's idea. Jin's tour is considered the "finale" to the beloved "Run Jin" series that he started right after his discharge from the military.
In particular, Jimin expressed his strong pαѕѕion and desire to take on Jin's challenge, to the point of mentioning: "I wanted to go on Run Seokjin". However, Jin concluded: "It's over", causing his younger brother to regret, replying: "I know".
Fortunately, he immediately recognized Jimin's love for the series and asked back: "You want to appear on Run Seokjin?". Of course, Jimin immediately said: "I wanted to", making Worldwide Handsome ready for "a side story" just because of his wish. "If you want it, then I can bring it back for one more episode", Jin replied.
The two's interaction sent fans into a frenzy, not only because of the return signal of the beloved weekly show, but also because of the way Jin pampered his little brother:
- Jin can change anything. He can even break the rules. If Jimin insists he would do it.
- PLS RUN SEOKJIN FT. BTS LETS GOOOO
