10 years ago yoongi wrote “Paris to New York, damn my schedule, no time to rest.”
and now in 2026, BTS really went from finishing their sold out concert in Paris to flying straight to New York to perform at the FIFA World Cup halftime show.
[INFO] #BTS members explained about how they decided to perform only BTS songs, not subunits or solos, with all 7 members together.🥹💜
#JungKook: You hit the nail on the head with our intention. It’s pretty unusual for a group to fill an entire concert exclusively with group songs from start to finish anymore. We wanted to remind everyone what BTS is like as a group, and since it’s been so long since our last tour, we tried to focus on the kind of energy we have when we’re all together. Obviously that makes things harder, but we wanted to immerse the audience in that feeling of all seven of us putting on the show together, all the way through.
#V: We all felt that we should be focusing on the group rather than subunit or solo songs. I think that is the core of this tour. Having the seven of us back together after all this time feels special, and it’s also our way of saying we want to keep doing this together.
#RM: We wanted to put more weight on reaffirming the BTS brand that’s brought all of us this far. We’re at a point now where we can end up with a totally different outcome depending on what we choose to pour our energy into. That’s not me trying to explain or describe it. It’s just a feeling. It’s like, we have to do something to show that we’re locked in as a group, now that we’re back after such a long time away. After all, we’re talking about 13 years of history that the seven of us and ARMY have been building together.
#SUGA: I think it’s so “Bangtan” that the seven of us are still so aligned.
🐱: i got here a day earlier than the other members and went to a Metallica concert. Turns out it was their 45th year? Since we're only in our 13th year, that means we still have 32 years ahead of us. You'll keep watching us until then, right?
😭😭😭😭😭
