The update came during a recent live session on Weverse, where BTS members Jimin, Taehyung (V), and Jungkook reunited to interact with fans and drop a few exciting revelations.
BTS fans finally have a reason to rejoice. Jungkook has confirmed that the group's much-awaited comeback album is in the works and is slated to release in spring 2026. The update came during a recent live session on Weverse, where BTS members Jimin, Taehyung (V), and Jungkook reunited to interact with fans and drop a few exciting revelations.
As the members reminisced about their time in the military, Jimin shared a hilarious memory of Jungkook singing in his sleep. 'It sounded amazing," Jimin said, as translated by @BTStranslation on X. Jungkook explained that he had a dream-within-a-dream scenario and woke up wanting to record the melody. However, since phones were not allowed, it wasn't possible. 'I could have remembered it if I had been awake," he joked.

The biggest surprise came when Jungkook opened up about BTS' upcoming group album, which will be their first full release since 2020's BE. 'We're aiming for next spring. Now, no matter what the outcome is, we have to release something. Right?" Jungkook said. Jimin agreed, adding, 'Our ARMY has waited so long, we can't delay it any longer."
While the anticipation is high, Jungkook admitted he's feeling a bit of pressure. 'We have to work hard until next spring. Honestly, I'm a bit worried," he confessed.
With all members now discharged from their mandatory military service, BTS is set for a full-fledged return in 2026. Jin and J-Hope were the first to complete their service, followed by the remaining members in recent months.
Jungkook also touched upon his songwriting process, comparing himself to BTS leader RM (Namjoon). 'I can't write lyrics like Namjoon-hyung. I'm very straightforward and realistic, so the wording doesn't come out," he said.
After nearly four years, BTS is finally ready to return and ARMYs around the world couldn't be more excited.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Confirms Prabhas, Triptii Dimri's Spirit Begins Filming This September
Last Updated: Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga confirms Prabhas, Triptii Dimri's Spirit starts filming in September with back-to-back schedules. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has officially confirmed that his much-anticipated film Spirit, starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, will begin shooting in September 2025. The announcement came during a recent chat with Vijay Deverakonda and filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanuri on the Sithara Entertainments YouTube channel. Sandeep revealed that Spirit will have back-to-back schedules and a non-stop shooting plan once it hits the floors. Spirit made headlines earlier this year when Deepika Padukone exited the project following disagreements over working hours and compensation. Reports suggested that Deepika was advocating for a strict eight-hour workday, a demand that could not be accommodated by the production team. Following her exit, Triptii Dimri was roped in to play the female lead opposite Prabhas. According to reports by Rangasthalam, Sandeep has already completed the musical compositions for Spirit in collaboration with composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar. Backed by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is one of the most awaited action dramas in Indian cinema and is expected to hit theatres in 2027. The film reportedly presents Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar, adding to fans' excitement. Earlier, a source close to the project revealed, 'Sandeep Reddy Vanga wants to shoot for Spirit in a certain way and has requested Prabhas to acquire a lean physique. The idea is to ensure most stunts are performed by Prabhas himself. The Rebel Star is excited about the challenge and is working closely with Sandeep to mold himself into the character." After wrapping up Spirit, Sandeep will begin scripting Animal Park, the much-anticipated sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Animal. With high expectations riding on Spirit, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what cinematic magic Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas will bring to the screen.
