The full seven members of the global group BTS have been spotted together in one place, escalating fan anticipation for their long-awaited full-group comeback, which is slated for next spring.
On the 12th, multiple photos of the members gathered in a practice room were posted on the individual accounts of BTS members RM, J-Hope, V, and Suga. The released photos show all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—posing in front of a mirror in casual attire. Notably, a full-group photo featuring all seven members together particularly captured fans' attention.
Having completed their mandatory military service this year, BTS has previously announced plans for a new album release and a large-scale world tour next spring. The sight of all the members reunited in the practice room is significantly boosting fans' excitement for their return to full-group activities.
Furthermore, this group photo is receiving heightened attention as it comes amid a recent period of some internal disquiet within the fandom concerning certain members.
Previously, on the 5th, dating rumors involving member Jungkook and aespa member Winter surfaced. Netizens spread the rumors online, citing evidence such as matching three-dog tattoos on their forearms, couple nails, and similar personal items. While the agencies of both Jungkook and Winter have maintained a 'no comment' stance, both fandoms garnered attention by holding truck protests in front of the respective members' agency buildings with messages related to the alleged couple tattoos.
Adding to the situation, RM spoke candidly about the team's future activities during a live broadcast following Jungkook's dating rumors, causing further concern within the fandom. RM stated at the time, "I'm not someone who can explain things when something happens," and confessed, "I've thought thousands of times about whether it would be better to disband the team or suspend activities." He then added, "The reason the team continues now is because there is love among us, and because of the love and respect we have for you [fans]." However, the mention of "disbandment" during his earnest remarks alarmed fans. RM ultimately had to issue an apology on the Weverse community on the 8th, saying, "I'm sorry for stressing out so many ARMYs with the live. I regret turning it on, but I was just feeling frustrated. I apologize. I'll just focus on making music, practicing choreography hard, planning new content, sleeping well, and living my life."
Released following these controversies, the photo of the seven members reunited showcases BTS's unity, offering great comfort and a hopeful energy to the fandom.
