What is the story about?
BTS gave ARMYs a delightful holiday Weverse live, sending the fandom in a frenzy. Seeing the OT7, gathering to wish their followers ahead of Christmas
and the New Year, it wasn't something many were expecting. Considering how its seven members, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook chose a late-night live (around 1 am in South Korea), the celebration truly turned special, leaving fans sleepless. This was the boy band's second broadcast in less than a week, but this time they shared more about their comeback album and how they plan to make 2026, the year of BTS.
BTS is planning 'something special' in year end
On December 21, BTS suddenly tuned in through their Weverse profile. Sitting around a table full of party snacks, a cake, and Christmas decorations, ARMYs knew they had arrived to celebrate the holiday season with their fans. From starting the live with their signature introduction, to speaking on their comeback album, BTS had a lot in store. They teased, "At the end of the year, we want to do something. There will be something we can tell."
Chaotic shenanigans of BTS
The bandmates teased J-Hope by vibing to Killin It Girl. They even celebrated Taehyung's birthday in advance by making him make a wish with the cake. Tae will turn 30 on December 30 this year. Jimin revealed why he was keeping away from Instagram. That's because he has forgotten his password despite trying multiple options.
The high point of the live was, for the first time, getting live translated in English, and not auto subs. This ensured maximum fans across the word got to understand BTS words in real-time subtitles.
BTS comeback album will be 'crazy'
BTS ultimately spoke on their album set to release in 2026. "This album is just crazy. Everyone of us had our own music, so we have our music in the album. I thought he was very sensitive. He kept changing it. Just change the tick and tick. It's the battle of ticks. I made like 4-5 adjustments. We all have our own style now. The directions in the songs? We changed the way we record the songs. We worked on the engineers, and it was a lot of fun. We really improved a lot.
While they wished fans a Happy New Year in multiple languages, their closing words are what left fans excited and emotional. "Let's make 2026, BTS year," the K-pop group said.
