On July 1, all seven members — RM, Jin, J-Hope, V, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook — reunited for a Weverse live broadcast, sharing heartfelt updates and confirming plans for a group return in 2026. The group revealed they will be releasing a new full-group album in spring 2026, marking their first collective music project in four years. The announcement comes as all members have officially completed their mandatory military service in South Korea, with Jin being the first one to have completed his service. RM, the group's leader, said, 'Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' The band will begin working on the new album in the United States starting this month. RM added, 'Of course, we will also be going on a tour, a world tour, starting next spring. We'll be going to see you here and there all over the world, so please look forward to it.' Jungkook echoed the sentiment, stating, "This time, we're really going to go all the way back to our original mindset and gather together." The announcement of both a new album and a global tour has sparked immense excitement among fans, many of whom have been awaiting a full-group comeback since the group announced a hiatus from joint activities in 2022 to focus on solo projects and fulfil national service duties. BTS also assured fans that they will continue sharing updates through Weverse Live and social media as they begin this new chapter. Since debuting in 2013, BTS has become one of the most influential music groups in the world, breaking numerous records, topping global charts, and earning a Grammy nomination.

Taylor Swift Buys USD 13K Giant Friendship Bracelet From Eras Tour: Here's Why It's Big Deal for Swifties
Taylor Swift has spent USD 13,000 to keep a very special piece of her Eras Tour close to her heart. The 14-time Grammy winner bought the massive 140-foot-long inflatable friendship bracelet that decorated the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans during her sold-out shows in October 2024. According to local outlet 4WWL, Swift's personal services company, Firefly Entertainment Inc., handled the purchase. The Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District is expected to approve the deal at a board meeting this week. Firefly will also take care of collecting, shipping, and delivering the bracelet. A 140-foot symbol of Swiftie culture The giant inflatable bracelet was first seen ahead of Swift's three-night run at the Caesars Superdome in Louisiana. It spelled out 'Taylor Swift The Eras Tour' and was so big that forklifts were needed to hang it on the stadium's facade. Abby Jones, sales and marketing director at ASM New Orleans, came up with the idea for the massive bracelet just a month before Swift's shows. After Swift's team approved the idea, Jones worked with Miami-based artist Shawn Kolodny, who is known for making large inflatable art. 'It's like a giant friendship bracelet bouncy house,' Kolodny told He shared that each bead is made of nylon and stands about seven feet tall. Why the friendship bracelet matters to Swifties The Taylor Swift friendship bracelet has become an important part of her fan community. It started with a lyric from Swift's song You're On Your Own Kid from her Midnights album, released in October 2022. The lyric says, 'Everything you lose is a step you take / So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.' Fans loved the idea and started making and trading beaded bracelets that spell out Swift's songs, albums, and lyrics. This trend led to a 500% increase in bracelet sales at craft stores. Swift herself wears special versions of these bracelets. Here's how the friendship bracelet connects to Travis Kelce Last Christmas, Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce gave her a gold friendship bracelet worth over USD 6,000. The bracelet had 'TNT' on it, a nod to their initials. The friendship bracelet also played a role in Swift and Kelce's love story. In July 2023, Kelce said he once tried to give Swift a bracelet with his phone number on it before her Kansas City concert. He didn't get the chance, but Swift heard about it later, and gave him another shot.
