On the afternoon of the 16th of this month, BTS υиєχρє¢тє∂ly connected with fans through a live broadcast on the Weverse Live platform. During the broadcast, all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—were gathered together in the practice room. They shared, “We just finished dance practice,” appearing in front of the camera with a natural, sweat-soaked look.

This marked the third live broadcast this year to feature the full lineup, since June, after all members completed their military service. Being able to see all seven members together in the same frame is especially precious during these final days of 2025. Watching them joke around and tease one another so comfortably filled fans with happiness, bringing back familiar and cherished feelings.

The members all agreed that “2025 feels unusually long.” With the exception of Jin and j-hope, RM, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have spent half of the year warming up and preparing thoroughly ahead of BTS’s return as seven. A few months ago, the group also participated together in a two-month-long songwriting camp in the United States, fully focused on producing their new album.

RM and Jungkook could not hide their excitement, expressing their eagerness to show everyone the results of their hard work as soon as possible. Meanwhile, j-hope tried to calm the excitement, revealing that the comeback is “only about 10% prepared so far,” while still sharing his strong desire to meet fans again soon.

Notably, when this topic came up, RM’s immediate reaction drew attention. He almost blurted out, “HYBE, please just announce it!” which surprised Jin standing next to him, prompting him to respond, “Announce what?” Realizing he might have misspoken, RM appeared momentarily flustered and corrected himself, saying, “No, I mean, that we’re doing so-and-so on such-and-such a date.”

SUGA then smiled and reαѕѕured him, saying, “They said they will, right? They will someday.” However, RM made the request even more intense by laughing and repeating, “Someday,” with clear skepticism, adding, “It’s really driving me crazy!!” He seemed unwilling to wait any longer for further delays in announcing “soмєтнing new.” Jimin shared a similar feeling, saying, “We tend to be frustrated because times like these feel longer for some reason,” to which j-hope agreed, adding, “That’s true.”

Meanwhile, the youngest member appeared somewhat confused about the “exciting thing” the others were referring to and asked, “They did? When was it?” Jin gently reminded him, “They did—pay attention to the meetings.” Jungkook then quickly recalled it and explained, “No, no, I remember!” adding, “It’s soon.” Not giving Jungkook a chance to reveal anything further, the eldest member of BTS warned him, “You remember? Then don't say it out loud. Just know it in your mind”.

This cryptic yet entertaining exchange among the members about soмєтнing HYBE is preparing to announce has left fans extremely curious, further heightening anticipation within the fandom ahead of the group’s return. Some fans speculate that it could be content for fans, or more specifically, the return of Run BTS, as the group has previously mentioned ideas about filming the iconic show that was long suspended due to military service.

Meanwhile, industry observers believe it may be an announcement regarding the group’s 2026 schedule, including an album release and even a highly anticipated world tour. Since BTS has promised to return in the spring of next year, experts had already predicted months ago that HYBE would announce their schedule in January 2026. Notably, there are only 15 days left until the end of 2025.

On social media, fans and netizens have expressed excitement over the leader’s request to HYBE, believing that it must be good news—otherwise, the members would not be finding the wait so genuinely frustrating:
