Adding a touch of personality, Jungkook also mentioned he has another account, playfully dedicated to his beloved dog Bam, calling himself “Bam’s Dad.”
First Multi-Member Instagram Live Since Enlistment
The livestream marked a rare moment of togetherness for fans, as BTS members are currently in different stages of their military service or working overseas. Jimin joined briefly from another room, while J-Hope interacted with fans on Weverse after arriving at Incheon International Airport.
BTS Comeback Album in the Works for Spring 2026
During the live, members hinted that they are currently in Los Angeles working on BTS’ highly anticipated comeback album, slated for release in spring 2026. While no tracklist or teaser was shared, the warm camaraderie and presence of multiple members in the stream left fans feeling hopeful and excited.
