Whenever BTS stirs, even subtly, the ripple effect across ARMY is instant—and intense. The latest spark? A series of intriguing updates from RM and J-Hope that have ignited speculation about an upcoming track or surprise collaboration.
It all started on April 31, 2025, when RM—currently serving in the military—shared a casual mirror selfie on Instagram. He was seated on the floor, taking the photo through a chair, but fans quickly recognized the setting: BTS’ iconic practice room. The post was simple, but the implications weren’t lost on ARMY. Why was RM back in a place so closely tied to BTS’ creative roots, especially while still enlisted?
Just hours later, J-Hope added more fuel to the fire by uploading a TikTok video. He was dancing in what seemed to be the same practice room. The distinctive flooring, lighting, and vibe matched RM’s photo perfectly. This wasn’t just a coincidence—at least, not according to fans.
With RM nearing the end of his service on June 10 and J-Hope currently lighting up stages on his Hope On The Street 2025 world tour, the timing felt intentional. Fans began piecing together theories: Could the duo be working on new music? Is a post-discharge project already in motion?
Online, ARMY was ablaze with theories and excitement. “There’s no way this is random,” one fan wrote. “Joon in the practice room, Hobi dancing in the same space—something’s brewing.” Another added, “Jay’s shaking it in front of our salad while Namjoon chills in the background. We’re being fed!”
Many believe this could be more than just solo content. Whispers of SUGA’s possible involvement have made the rounds, with comments like “Yoongi’s probably behind the scenes on this” and “It’s giving comeback energy.”
The timing does seem poetic. With J-Hope on tour, RM and V both set to finish service on June 10, Jimin and Jungkook following a day later, and SUGA due back by June 21, all seven members are inching toward a full reunion. Whether it’s a duo track, a prelude to a group comeback, or something else entirely, the stars—and schedules—are aligning.
Adding to the excitement, it’s officially confirmed that RM will drop a new track titled “Stop the Rain” with tbalo on May 2, 2025, at 1 PM KST—a move that further suggests BTS is warming up for something big.
Whatever is coming, one thing is certain: BTS isn’t done yet. And neither is ARMY’s unwavering excitement.
