In a heartwarming gesture towards their loyal fanbase, known as ARMY, BTS sent handwritten letters to Weverse members, announcing their comeback. Each member – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – penned their personal messages expressing gratitude for the unwavering support from ARMY over the years. Recipients of physical copies of these letters received a special touch that served as a personal notification of the band’s long-awaited return.
