BTS's V Connects with ARMY via Weverse Live Amidst Group Comeback Preparations

V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS surprised fans with a cozy 45-minute livestream on the fan platform Weverse, offering an intimate glimpse into his life after a busy shooting schedule and discussing the group's highly anticipated future plans.

The unexpected live session delighted millions of ARMYs worldwide, many of whom are eagerly awaiting the group's full reunion following the completion of all members' mandatory military service.

Streaming around 11:35 a.m. UTC, V's live was a casual affair, keeping the mood light and festive with a personal playlist that ranged from Frank Ocean to holiday tunes. During the broadcast, he shared updates on current BTS group activities and solo projects. V also mentioned plans to watch actor Park Seo-joon's new show and teased a potential future Hawaii vlog, sparking excitement among fans.

A brief but heartwarming brotherly exchange with fellow member Jin further highlighted their close bond, a moment cherished by fans during the group's temporary hiatus from collective promotions.

The livestream also touched upon the future of BTS as a complete group. The members have been gradually completing their military duties, with the final member, Suga, discharged in June 2025. Following the group's first full-member Weverse broadcast in July 2025, where the septet confirmed a new album and world tour, anticipation has reached a fever pitch.

Key takeaways regarding BTS's future:

New Album: A new group album, their first since 2022's Proof anthology, is scheduled for release in the spring of 2026. World Tour: A massive world tour is expected to follow the album release, potentially their largest global tour yet, with industry analysts predicting around 65 dates worldwide. Tour details are expected to be announced in early 2026. Album Production: Starting in July 2025, all seven members have been working closely together on new music, with leader RM recently sharing that the album is almost finished and sounding "really great".

The group is reportedly working from Los Angeles on the new music, aiming to present something extraordinary to their patient and devoted fanbase. As RM noted in his own recent Weverse live, the group is working hard to deliver content worthy of the wait, addressing the pressures and uncertainties inherent in such a grand return.

Fans can look forward to more exciting updates as the group moves closer to its much-anticipated return to the global stage in 2026.
