On the morning of August 17(KST), RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook delighted fans by hosting a brief livestream through the fan platform Weverse. The seven-minute broadcast showed the members enjoying a carefree time on the beach, sharing lighthearted moments and playful interactions.
Jimin, shirtless after a swim, appeared on camera alongside V, who jokingly hugged a drenched Jin. Jungkook held the camera, capturing the group’s relaxed atmosphere. During the stream, RM reassured fans: “We’re doing well,” while Suga added, “I’ve been working hard on album production.”
Jin, who recently completed a fan concert tour in Europe and has since joined a songwriting camp in the U.S., greeted viewers cheerfully: “I’ve arrived in America safely and met the guys again.”
The group has officially reunited after major milestones earlier this summer. In June, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook completed their military service, while Suga was discharged from alternative service. With J-Hope finishing his solo concert and Jin wrapping up his tour, the members gathered in Los Angeles to focus on music production.
“We’ve been working non-stop, and today’s our rest day,” said RM. Jungkook joked, “It’s getting a little tiring,” and Jimin admitted, “Working six days a week with only one rest day is tough.” J-Hope echoed their sentiment: “We’re really just working.”
Adding humor, Jungkook commented, “I thought things would feel completely different here in the U.S., and they are… but it still feels like a factory.” Jin teased, “Since I joined later after my tour, I expected something special. But really, it’s just waking up, exercising, going to the studio, eating, and sleeping.”
Before wrapping up, the members told fans that the stream was meant as a “survival report,” a playful check-in to show they’re doing well. They closed with laughter and reassured ARMY that they are working toward a full-group comeback, currently set for spring 2026.
