[talk] The reason to wait for the spring of 2026 has become clear: BTS as a whole.

The mere fact that BTS is finally returning as a full group resonates deeply.
As long as the wait has been, this news alone makes 2026 feel different.

We all know how wonderfully each of you has grown as solo artists during your military service.
So I think there's a lot to look forward to in the full album.
I'm so excited to be back together as BTS with our individual colors more distinct.

I also agree with the statement that K-pop has grown a lot while BTS was away.
Even though sales records and tour scales continue to grow, it still feels like BTS has a special place.
There's something about that influence that can't be explained by numbers alone.

I think telling the fans about the album release date in advance was a decision that showed great understanding of the fans' feelings.
Because we all know how hard it is to wait without any promises.
So this felt more like a promise than just a simple schedule announcement.

I also believe that you focused solely on music while doing song camp in the US.
I'm even more excited because I've already heard that the direction and songs have been released.
I'm confident that no matter what the genre or message, it will ultimately be BTS-like music.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this will be the biggest topic in the music industry in 2026.
I'm grateful that I can wait with this excitement until spring comes.
I'm really, really looking forward to BTS's time starting again.
