BTS reunites for first live after discharge: V aka Kim Taehyung reveals he still does military roll call, Jungkook debuts new tattoos
ARMYs finally got the OT7 moment they've been waiting for, and K-pop Twitter is in full meltdown mode. On Tuesday (July 1), BTS reunited for their first proper OT7 appearance in nearly three years with a surprise late-night Weverse live. RM (Kim Namjoon), Jin (Kim Seokjin), Suga (Min Yoongi), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Jimin (Park Jimin), V (Kim Taehyung), and Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) all joined in, catching fans off guard in the best way. The group chatted casually about their current routines, teased future plans, and even dropped hints about upcoming projects. While they didn't go deep into military talk, V did reveal a habit he's held onto from his time in service. Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans noticed what looks like a new tattoo on Jungkook, and the decoding has already begun. BTS 'surprise fans with first live post-military discharge While BTS did reunite in person for J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STREET encore concert on June 13 to celebrate the group's 12th debut anniversary, this marks the first full-frame OT7 return in one frame we've seen since 2024. It's also the first time all seven members have gone live together on Weverse since June 2024, when Jin was discharged from the military. V reveals he still wakes up for military roll call It seems like V is still adjusting to life post-enlistment, and fans can't help but smile at the unexpected habit he's carried home. During the live, the Rainy Days singer shared that he still wakes up at exactly 6:30 a.m., the standard wake-up time during military service. Out of pure habit, he even does the military-style roll call by himself before heading to the kitchen for breakfast. Taehyung says he wakes up at 6:30 and does the military role call (out of habit) at his home before having breakfast 😭 V, who enlisted alongside RM, Jimin, and Jungkook in December 2023, served in the Special Task Force unit, one of the more demanding divisions in the Korean military. Though he's now discharged, military routine has certainly left a mark on his daily life. Jungkook debuts new tattoos While Jungkook still seems to be in his post-military shy era, let's be honest, he doesn't need to say much to steal the spotlight. Dressed in a full-sleeve sweatshirt, denim jeans, and glasses, he kept things low-key but effortlessly radiated that signature Jungkook swag. Even with the cosy fit, eagle-eyed fans caught glimpses of his hand and chest tattoos during the live. While it's still unclear what new ink he's added, many were quick to point out that it's refreshing to see a K-pop idol continue to push boundaries with body art. In an industry where tattoos are still considered bold, Jungkook's evolving style feels like a quiet rebellion, and fans are here for it. #JUNGKOOK NEW TATTOO!!?? OH GOD jungkook's chest tattoo peeking Meanwhile, Namjoon, ever the thoughtful leader, gave ARMYs something to look forward to by teasing a possible group comeback in spring 2026. Suga, who's recently been making headlines for his meaningful acts of philanthropy, also chimed in. He encouraged fans to keep supporting both their group and individual activities, hinting that there's a lot more to come, both together and apart.

(Video) M'sian Fans Overjoyed Seeing BTS' J-Hope Sharing Super Ring Snack With TWICE's Sana
It's well known among Malaysian K-pop fans that Super Ring is a popular snack among idols. Members of BLACKPINK, STAYC, and have all been unable to resist the cheesy goodness of the local treat. GOT7's Mark Tuan even claimed they're better than the cheese ball snacks found in the US. It seems that two more idols have joined the list, after one introduced the snack to the other on camera. BTS member J-Hope (제이홉) recently appeared on TWICE's Sana (사나/サナ)'s show 'Fridge Interview', where he brought along some snacks he picked up while on tour. Watch: In the latest episode of Sana's 'Fridge Interview', BTS's J-Hope discussed his latest solo project and preparations for his 'HOPE ON THE STREET' world tour, which recently concluded. At one point during the interview, the two idols opened the fridge, which was filled with various foods and drinks that the rapper is particularly fond of, one of which happened to be a packet of Super Ring snacks. The 31-year-old explained the reason he liked each item in the fridge, one by one. When it came to the Malaysian snack, he revealed that he had picked it up during his trip to Singapore, where he performed at the country's National Indoor Stadium. He described it as savoury and tasty before opening the bag to share it with Sana, who commented that it had a hint of sweetness. The moment quickly went viral, with Malaysian fans expressing their excitement over the Super Ring mention. Many commented that if J-Hope were to perform in Malaysia, he could have all the Super Ring snacks he wanted, as they're available in almost every convenience store across the country. Others, however, expressed disappointment that the idol didn't specify the snack's Malaysian origin, noting that he only mentioned picking it up in Singapore. TWICE fans also chimed in, hoping that Sana would share the snack with her fellow members, sparking hopes that it might lead to a potential concert in Malaysia. Even though J-Hope didn't get the snack from Malaysia, there's no denying that Super Ring remains a superior snack among K-pop idols.
