'BTS' V, Jimin, and J-Hope celebrated the anniversary of the ARMY (fan club name) together. On the 9th, V posted on the fan communication platform 'Weverse' saying, "Happy ARMY Day" and added, "I hope you all have the happiest day." Jimin revealed a recording session, stating, "Today is ARMY's birthday. Happy birthday. I love you. I will work hard on the album and return." J-Hope shared photos of ARMY on his SNS, capturing moments of singing with fans and the concert venue filled with the glow of ARMY bombs. He wrote, "Happy ARMY Day."

ARMY officially named their fan club on July 9, 2013, embodying the meaning of "Always together with BTS like a military and a bulletproof vest." BTS has begun a songwriting camp in the United States. RM, Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook gathered in Los Angeles starting from the 6th. J-Hope and Jin will join after finishing their performances. They are preparing for their first full-length album in six years, with the members personally planning the album's concept, direction, and tracks. It is reported that BTS does not have plans to return home for about two months. RM stated, "A new album after six years—it's going to be an amazing album. It seems like it's going to be a songwriting camp that starts in the U.S. and moves around here and there." BTS is preparing the album with a target release in the spring of 2026, planning to meet ARMY through a world tour after the release of the new songs.
