J-Hope's attendance comes just days after BTS announced their 2026 reunion, creating a wave of excitement among ARMY. 'We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year," BTS said in a joint statement on July 1. '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."
Since BTS last released an album (Be) in 2020, each member has pursued solo ventures. J-Hope released Hope On The Street Vol.1 in 2024 and most recently dropped singles 'Mona Lisa" and 'Killin' It Girl" featuring GloRilla.
Speaking to Weverse Magazine, he shared his excitement about reuniting with BTS: 'When we're all back together as a group, it's going to have a huge impact, and everybody's going to be watching. I'm excited to see what it'll feel like when we perform together again."
