On the evening of December 31st, the famous group BTS and fans welcomed the New Year through a surprise livestream. The hit "Dynamite" made fans excited when it appeared fully after a long period of operational disruption due to members performing military service.
Throughout the broadcast, the audience witnessed happy interaction moments of the members, and the group also revealed plans to return in 2026, making fans excited.
However, a group joke during the livestream made fans worried. In the middle of the program, when some members stood up from the sofa, Jin approached behind Jungkook, picked him up and placed him over the back of the chair. Jungkook landed in a slightly uncomfortable corner, his head and neck touching the floor before standing up on his own.

Many fans were excited about Jin's prank, but many expressed concern about Jungkook's safety and criticized this action. Although most fans believed that Jin did not intend to harm, many still hoped that the group would be more cautious in their pranks, avoiding serious injury risks.
On the morning of January 1st, BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed to AtStar1 that the BTS group would return on March 20, 2026.
This will be the first full album release of the group after nearly 3 years and 9 months, since the compilation album "Proof" was released in June 2022.

The company said that information about the return date was mentioned in a letter to Gold-class members of ARMY, BTS's official fan club.
This letter also includes messages from members, along with a mysterious symbol and the date March 30, 2026, attracting attention in the fan community.
