"PLEASE DROP THE DATES" - Fans react as BTS' Namjoon expresses frustration over lack of announcement from HYBE on their 2026 group comeback

On Tuesday, December 16, all seven BTS members kicked off a Weverse livestream as they gathered together at their agency's dance practice room. The members explained that they chose to go live after their current dance practice sessions since many fans have been requesting a livestream with all the members. Although the livestream was only twelve minutes long, BTS shared a number of updates with fans, specifically about their upcoming comeback.

As previously announced, BTS is expected to make their long-awaited group comeback after a three-year hiatus in Spring 2026. However, apart from this revelation, not many announcements regarding the album or the follow-up tour have been revealed yet. Understanding the anticipation from fans and netizens, RM also addressed the lack of announcements from HYBE Labels regarding the group's comeback.

RM stated that the members have been preparing several things for the comeback, and they are also frustrated with the long wait and lack of announcement from HYBE Labels or BIGHIT MUSIC regarding the same. RM expressed that he also wants fans to learn about the dates of their upcoming releases and officially update the internet about the comeback. Here's what he stated during the livestream:

"HYBE, please just announce it! No, I mean, that we're doing so and so on, so and so date. It's really driving me crazy!"

However, the other members responded that the frustration might be due to the unexpected long wait, even after the members' return from the military. Therefore, they requested everyone, including RM, to patiently wait for the comeback. On the other hand, when this livestream reached the fans, they empathized with RM and stated that they've also been frustrated about the lack of announcements from the agency and have been urging action from HYBE.

Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:
