BTS Announces “Crazy” Comeback Album with Christmas Weverse Live, Declares 2026 as “BTS’s Year”

BTS held a special holiday live broadcast via Weverse on the early morning of December 21st. All seven members—Jin, j-hope, SUGA, Jimin, Jay, Kei, and E:U—attended the broadcast around 1 a.m. KST, receiving enthusiastic responses from fans. The members sat at tables decorated with party snacks, cakes, and Christmas ornaments to celebrate the end of the year together with their ARMY. During the broadcast, BTS stated, “We have something special planned for the end of the year. There’s something we can tell you about.” The members also spoke about the new album set to release in 2026. They explained, “This album is really crazy. We all have our own music, so it includes our songs. We worked on it with engineers, and it was really fun. We’ve improved a lot.” There was also a segment during the broadcast to celebrate V’s 30th birthday in advance, as he turns 30 on December 30th. Jimin revealed why he had been away from Instagram recently by saying he forgot his password. The members also played the song “Kill It Girl” while teasing j-hope playfully. What made this live special was that real-time English translation was provided for the first time, instead of automated subtitles, allowing ARMY members around the world to understand BTS’s words instantly. At the end of the broadcast, BTS exchanged New Year’s greetings in multiple languages before capturing fans’ hearts with the statement, “Let’s make 2026 BTS’s year.”
