Fresh off the electrifying Day 1 of his Osaka concert, part of the RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in Japan, BTS’ Jin took to Weverse Live to connect with fans in his signature playful yet heartfelt manner. While the live was filled with light-hearted moments—like his joking claim of being “rich” because he puts two eggs in his ramyeon instead of one—it quickly took an emotional turn as the topic of BTS came up. As always, beneath the humor, Jin’s love for his group and the bond they share was crystal clear.
Amid fan questions pouring in during the stream, one viewer asked if he was becoming more comfortable performing solo. Jin responded with firm honesty, brushing off the idea that he’s settling into the solo artist life. He admitted that being on stage without his members doesn’t come easy. “When I’m on stage, I think of them a lot,” he said sincerely. “It’s been 13–14 years, and I’ve been on stage with them for more than 10 years, so when they’re not there, it feels awkward.” Despite dancing with full energy and delivering strong performances during the Osaka show—which was streamed live in theatres around the world—his words revealed that every solo moment carries the weight of absence.
He didn’t stop there. When asked how the other BTS members were doing, Jin confidently reassured fans, saying, “Our members? I’m sure they’re all doing well. Wherever they are, I’m sure they’re doing their best.” His trust in his bandmates and his steady optimism comforted ARMYs watching the live, especially those wondering how the group was coping with their scattered schedules and recent transitions.
Jin’s sentiments come on the heels of BTS’ reunion on July 1—their first full-group moment since completing their mandatory military service. During this highly anticipated get-together, the group formally announced plans to work on new music. They confirmed they’ll be working toward a new album, scheduled for spring 2026. What makes this especially exciting is that it’s rumored to be a full-length release—their first in seven years, although that detail has yet to be confirmed officially.
As part of their comeback process, the members have already begun working with international producers in the U.S., reportedly participating in a rotating song camp. RM, SUGA, Jimin, Jungkook, and V are currently stationed in Los Angeles, diving into the creative process. J-Hope will join them soon after wrapping up his headlining performance at Lollapalooza Berlin. Jin, on the other hand, will meet up with the group after completing his solo tour in August.
Though each member is pursuing individual projects, their hearts—and future plans—remain tightly knit. For fans, Jin’s Weverse Live served as both a fun behind-the-scenes chat and a heartfelt reminder of the deep camaraderie that defines BTS. As they build up to their long-awaited group comeback, ARMYs across the world are holding onto every glimpse of togetherness, knowing that even when apart, BTS always finds their way back to each other.
