On July 1, without notice or fanfare, global music superstars BTS went live on Weverse. All seven members, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, came together for their first group broadcast since September 2022. The surprise reunion drew 7.3 million real-time viewers and came with major news: a new album is set for spring 2026, along with a massive world tour.
This marks the unwinding of the group’s “Chapter 2” era, during which members fulfilled military service while releasing critically acclaimed solo projects. From RM’s introspective Indigo to Jungkook’s chart-topping Golden, each member showcased their individual artistry, but fans never forgot the magic that happens when all seven unite.
