During the livestream, the members discussed their solo successes this year. Jungkook expressed relief at dedicating himself to solo work before military service, emphasizing the lack of regrets. V noted the appreciation developed during their time apart, expressing a willingness to learn from younger comrades in the military.

Hinting at upcoming plans, Jungkook suggested that BTS has prepared various offerings for fans to enjoy during their national defense service. He mentioned the imminent return of Jin from the military, setting expectations for the entire group's eventual return.

With these enlistments, all seven BTS members will be serving their mandatory military duty. Jin initiated his service in December last year, J-Hope in April, and Suga in September. Jin and J-Hope currently serve as assistant instructors at a military recruit training center, while Suga fulfills his service through alternative means.

RM appealed to fans not to visit the boot camp on their enlistment day, considering the simultaneous induction of others, and urged anticipation for BTS's return with new energy and stories to share.
