V and Jimin celebrate BTS ARMY Day, tease recording session in LA: 'Will work hard...'
BTS' V wishes ARMY a happy 12th anniversary
Known as ARMY Day, July 9 has become an annual tribute to the unique bond between BTS and their global fan base. Kim Taehyung aka V shared two photos from his latest Paris itinerary and captioned them as "Happy Army Day" and "Have a happiest day today." Fans were touched at how he remembered the day while he had a packed schedule lately.
A fan commented regarding the post, saying, "it's always him who wish us first."
Jimin shares new album preparing sneak peak on ARMY's 12th birthday
Jimin wished ARMY on the fandom's 12th anniversary, by writing, "Happy birthday I love you. I will work hard and come back to you!!" The picture he shared along with it featured him with his headphones on, probably inside the studio. Fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation about the possibility of a new song recording already being underway
With Jimin's pic and working hard message, it is clear that the K-pop stars have already begun preparations for their full-group comeback album. The hint of the same being dropped on ARMY day makes the event even more special.
Possibility of BTS' OT7 live on ARMY day
Some fans made comments like, "manifesting OT7 live today." However, given the member's current schedule, the chances of their wish getting fulfilled seems dicey. J-Hope's whereabouts are unknown, following his last appearance at BLACKPINK's Goyang concert on July 6. V was reported to head straight to LA after completing his Paris schedule.
Jin's next solo schedule is at Anaheim for his July 17-18 RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR concerts. However, it is unclear whether he will join the rest of the members in LA before that.

As the world goes gaga over Labubus, TWICE singer Jeongyeon thinks they're overhyped: ‘Don't fall for trends'
If the never-ending Labubu obsession is starting to feel like a jump scare, you're not alone, because now even K-pop idols are starting to roll their eyes. The latest to speak out? TWICE's Jeongyeon. While fans continue to scramble for the elusive, wide-eyed figurines, Jeongyeon's recent airport moment and reported response on social media has sparked a fresh wave of debate around trend culture and consumerism. TWICE singer Jeongyeon; Labubu What happened at the airport? A video from TWICE's recent airport appearance is currently making the rounds online. In it, a fan can be seen handing Jeongyeon a Labubu — a viral collectable that has recently taken over social media (and shelves). She accepted the gift and walked off with it, but later, on the fan messaging platform Bubble, she shared what she really thought. 'I'm not interested in dolls.' she allegedly wrote, adding, 'Don't fall for trends.' It didn't take long for the screenshots to explode across X, TikTok, and fan forums. While some fans praised her no-nonsense approach and dubbed her an 'anti-capitalist queen,' others weren't so impressed. Critics pointed out that her words might have hurt the fan who gifted the doll, with some saying another idol might have been torn apart online for the same comment. So, what's the deal with Labubu anyway? Labubu dolls are part of the Monsters series by Hong Kong-based brand POP MART, in collaboration with artist Kasing Lung. With their mischievous grin and slightly creepy-cute elf-like faces, these dolls have become the must-have accessory — especially among Gen Z collectors. They're typically sold in blind boxes, which makes every purchase a gamble (and drives up resale prices when rarer versions appear). The Labubu craze first took off in China and gained global traction after celebs like BLACKPINK's Lisa were seen carrying them. Recently, Lady Gaga debuted her own custom Labubu, handcrafted by fashion designer Marko Monroe. Whether or not you agree with her, the TWICE member's message was clear: trends don't always deserve your wallet. And for fans who've been secretly side-eyeing the Labubu mania, it's the validation they've been waiting for.
