On the morning of August 17 (KST), BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook surprised fans with a short seven-minute livestream on Weverse. Filmed at the beach, the broadcast captured the group’s playful mood and lighthearted interactions.
Jimin, fresh from a swim, appeared shirtless next to V, while Jin still dripping wet was pulled into a hug. Jungkook handled the camera, showing the members’ relaxed energy. RM reassured fans with, “We’re doing well,” and Suga added, “I’ve been working hard on album production.”
Jin, who recently wrapped a fan concert tour in Europe before joining a songwriting camp in the U.S., greeted fans warmly: “I’ve arrived in America safely and met the guys again.”
The group’s reunion follows major milestones earlier this summer: RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook completed their military service in June, Suga was discharged from alternative service, J-Hope wrapped his solo concerts, and Jin concluded his tour. Now gathered in Los Angeles, the members are focusing on new music.
“We’ve been working non-stop, and today’s our rest day,” RM explained. Jungkook joked, “It’s getting a little tiring,” while Jimin admitted, “Working six days a week with only one day off is tough.” J-Hope echoed, “We’re really just working.”
Adding humor, Jungkook quipped, “I thought things would feel completely different here in the U.S. and they are but it still feels like a factory.” Jin playfully teased, “Since I joined later, I expected something special. But really, it’s just waking up, exercising, going to the studio, eating, and sleeping.”
