The teaser opens with fan reactions to the announcement that the group would take a hiatus while all seven members fulfilled South Korea’s mandatory military service. Jin became the first member to enlist in 2022, while Suga was the final member discharged in July.
Clips of fans chanting “BTS” cut between shots of the members preparing for their return. At one point, Jung Kook says, “So emotional. I really miss them.” In another moment, RM declares, “Seven together, we can do anything.”
