BTS ARMY Floods Social Media As OT7 Confirms 2026 Reunion: ‘There Are Tears In My Eyes'
BTS began their military hiatus in late 2022, when Jin enlisted first. He was followed by J-Hope, then Suga, RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin.
BTS has officially confirmed their reunion plans, and the BTS ARMY can't hold back their joy. The seven-member global phenomenon will return with a new group album and world tour in 2026, marking their first full-group activity since BE in 2020.
The announcement was made earlier this week through a livestream on WeVerse, where all seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — appeared together. The moment instantly sent shockwaves through the fandom, as fans around the world took to social media to express their happiness, relief, and disbelief.
Twitter exploded with emotional posts. @_luvkookie wrote, 'bts in the same room..like they're real we saw them together again.. like this is not a dream.. they're back… they're gonna prepare an album.. then a world tour.. next year it's so gonna be full.. WE ARE SO BACK LETSGOO." Another user, @hueningiemoa, added: 'bts are really reunited now there are tears in my eyes."

Some described the reunion as healing. 'btsreunion month healed me fr," tweeted @bts_jinergy07. On Instagram, fans were equally moved. A popular fan account, @.goldenmaknae., shared, 'Omg! Omg! I am crying out of happiness first 2025 OT7 reunion pic & entire live. My boys are so back."
The WeVerse announcement was particularly touching, as the group confirmed: 'We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music… We're also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We'll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you're as excited as we are."
The reunion marks the end of a significant chapter. BTS began their military hiatus in late 2022, when Jin enlisted first. He was followed by J-Hope, then Suga, RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin. As of late June 2025, all seven members have completed their mandatory military service in South Korea.
J-Hope, in an interview with Rolling Stone, reflected on his enlistment: 'The thoughts I had during those times have become an inseparable part of me… Ultimately, they have influenced the stories I tell, the music I aspire to create."
With OT7 finally reunited, ARMY is now counting down to 2026 which promises to be filled with music, memories and milestones.
