Last Updated: BTS began their military hiatus in late 2022, when Jin enlisted first. He was followed by J-Hope, then Suga, RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin. BTS has officially confirmed their reunion plans, and the BTS ARMY can't hold back their joy. The seven-member global phenomenon will return with a new group album and world tour in 2026, marking their first full-group activity since BE in 2020. The announcement was made earlier this week through a livestream on WeVerse, where all seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — appeared together. The moment instantly sent shockwaves through the fandom, as fans around the world took to social media to express their happiness, relief, and disbelief. Twitter exploded with emotional posts. @_luvkookie wrote, 'bts in the same they're real we saw them together again.. like this is not a dream.. they're back… they're gonna prepare an album.. then a world tour.. next year it's so gonna be full..

Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music… We're also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We'll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you're as excited as we are." The reunion marks the end of a significant chapter. BTS began their military hiatus in late 2022, when Jin enlisted first. He was followed by J-Hope, then Suga, RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin. As of late June 2025, all seven members have completed their mandatory military service in South Korea. J-Hope, in an interview with Rolling Stone, reflected on his enlistment: 'The thoughts I had during those times have become an inseparable part of me… Ultimately, they have influenced the stories I tell, the music I aspire to create." With OT7 finally reunited, ARMY is now counting down to 2026 which promises to be filled with music, memories and milestones. First Published: July 02, 2025, 23:06 IST

BTS Reunion 2025 Begins Early; Jimin, Jungkook, J-Hope, V Hijack Jin's Weverse Live
Last Updated: BTS Reunion 2025: Jin's solo Weverse live became an unexpected BTS mini-reunion as Jimin, Jungkook, J-Hope and V crashed the stream, sending ARMY into meltdown. BTS member Jin went live on Weverse on May 16 to promote his new solo album Echo and latest single Don't Say You Love Me. What was meant to be an intimate session with fans to discuss his creative process quickly turned into a full-blown BTS chaos party. Fans were thrilled when his fellow bandmates J-Hope, Jimin, Jungkook, and V unexpectedly joined in—virtually, of course—completely hijacking the live with their playful banter and inside jokes. Jin initially began the stream to discuss the making of the album and the highly talked-about music video, which features actress Shin Se-kyung. His intention was to walk fans through the inspiration behind Echo, which he described as his 'perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity." Just as the tone turned reflective, the comment section turned chaotic. J-Hope, currently in Macau for his Hope on the Stage tour, joined in with his usual humor. Jimin, sitting beside Jungkook during the live, revealed the two were watching together and teasing Jin relentlessly. V, despite tech issues, eventually made it into the live toward the end, with Jungkook sharing that V had tried calling him and got a not-so-gentle scolding when he didn't pick up. Their constant stream of messages caused fans to completely lose it. As one user wrote on X, 'Lmfaoo Jungkook Jimin, Taehyung and Hobi still going at it even after Jin live is over and now Jin back telling them to get out LOLLL I miss my tannies craziness together sooo bad." BTS REUNITED in Jin's weverse live BEFORE JUNE REUNION 😭💜HobiJiminTaehyung Jungkook Namjoon and Yoongi where are you?😭 — bts archive (@btsarchivekor) May 16, 2025 Who wouldve thought we'd be witnessing a BTS reunion in JIN's comeback live stream — K⁷ | STR (@tksovers) May 16, 2025 Jin, ever the eldest hyung, even returned to the live after signing off—only to tell the others to 'just leave!" The spontaneity of it all reminded ARMY of the good old days when all seven members would go live together. It was chaotic, hilarious, heartwarming—and for many fans—just what they needed. While this wasn't the official BTS reunion, fans are taking it as a sign of things to come. With Jin and J-Hope already discharged from their military service and RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook scheduled to return by June 11, the full reunion is just weeks away. Suga, the last to complete his service on June 21, will mark the final piece of the puzzle. One fan summed up the sentiment perfectly: 'BTS REUNITED in Jin's weverse live BEFORE JUNE REUNION."
