In the early hours of November 3 (KST), BTS landed at Incheon International Airport after a 13-hour flight from Los Angeles. Following the conclusion of their three-night concert run in вяαzιℓ and the end of their South αмєяι¢αn tour leg last weekend, the group reportedly boarded a chartered Boeing 777 for a connecting flight to the United States before returning to South кσяєα.
BTS will have a short break at home to rest and prepare before continuing their world tour in Taiwan on November 19.
Upon arriving at the airport on November 3, the members opted for simple yet stylish airport fashion. Leading the way, V and Jungkook wore fleece hoo∂ιєs with their hoods pulled over their heads, paired with trendy headphones. j-hope and Jimin followed closely behind, sporting polished and fashionable looks. Finally, RM emerged a little later, casually walking alongside his manager in a plaid outfit and a baseball cap. He revealed that it had taken him “30 hours” to get home.
Despite the exhausting journey between continents and the possibility of having had very little sleep, the members appeared to be in relatively high spirits and continuously returned reporters’ greetings at the airport.
However, the detail that quickly caught ARMY’s attention through videos and photos was the absence of two of the five members who returned to South кσяєα: Jin and SUGA. Some кσяєαn reporters stated that neither would be returning to South кσяєα with the other BTS members that day due to separate schedules.
The brief update immediately left fans curious about what the two idols might be up to?
As for SUGA, fans pointed out that he appeared to have remained in вяαzιℓ while the other BTS members boarded their connecting flight to Los Angeles. A video shared by several local fans on November 2 showed him dining at Tordesilhas, a restaurant in São Paulo, вяαzιℓ. He reportedly enjoyed some shrimp moqueca alongside his manager and bodyguard.
Regarding Jin, fans recalled a previous interview in which he mentioned that he could continue working for two to three months without needing a break.
Additionally, in a вяαzιℓ-based CazéTV interview with BTS, a clip of which was uploaded to X on November 1 before the full interview was released, fans noticed that only five of the seven members appeared alongside the local commentators. Billboard Brasil also reported that Jin and SUGA were absent from the interview.
Based on these observations, fans began speculating that the duo might be preparing for a collaboration project or some solo content. Others have not ruled out the possibility that Jin and SUGA are simply enjoying some personal travel and making the most of the remaining 16 days before BTS enters its busy year-end schedule.
Discussions surrounding the topic have been gaining traction on social media, with fans sharing their theories and reactions: "Wait so YoonJin don’t attend that interview & now they’re MIA from coming back to кσяєα. They're cooking soмєтнing?", "Glad they’re back safely; wishing Jin & SUGA a smooth schedule and safe return too", "Individual schedule omg that's what means cooking", "Maybe they're doing a collab together?", "Yoongi seems to have stayed behind to explore the football city or go hiking, while I’m guessing Jin is working on some kind of project", "Only 2 weeks left before the next leg of the tour and YoonJin already have a mystery schedule… I’m seated",...
