The group’s reunion marks their first public appearance as a complete unit since RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook were discharged from military service in June. With Suga also officially released from public service duties, BTS is now officially back as a complete group and currently working on music in LA.

The mood shifted to relatable exhaustion as members shared how intense their U.S. schedule has been. “It’s kind of like a factory,” joked Jungkook. Jin teased, “I thought it’d be different here, but it’s just workout-studio-sleep-repeat.” J-Hope added, “All we’re doing is working.”
