Great news for sure, but I hope the world tour includes India this time. We have a massive fanbase here, and it's disappointing when big artists skip our country. Fingers crossed for a Mumbai or Delhi concert!

Honestly, I'm more excited about the solo projects they did. Jungkook's 'Golden' was on loop for months. But a full group album after 6 years is a big deal. The spring of 2026 is going to be lit!

As a music teacher in Bangalore, I find their global influence fascinating. My students are obsessed. It's impressive how they maintain such quality and connection with fans even after mandatory service breaks.

Respect for completing their national duty first. That's a good example. Now, bring on the music! 14 tracks is a proper album. Hope it has the depth of their older work like the 'Love Yourself' series.

While I'm happy for the fans, I do wish Indian media gave this much coverage to our own talented indie bands and artists. We have amazing music here that often doesn't get the platform it deserves.
