What Is BTS Doing During Their Short Tour Break?
September 15, 2026

With the North American leg of the ARIRANG tour done, BTS has a few weeks without shows. Six of the members flew back to Korea from Los Angeles, while SUGA wasn't on that flight to Incheon. The next time we'll see all seven on stage together is October 2, in Bogotá.
In the meantime, Yoongi checked in on Instagram with photos from Los Angeles, then posted a Story from a store where he came across ARIH products. The photo showed Japanese items and prices in yen, which immediately got fans guessing he was in Japan. He hasn't said exactly where he is or what he's doing there.
RM turned 32 on September 12 and marked it with a Weverse Live. He showed part of the celebration, thanked fans for their messages, and chatted with ARMY. During the live, he also mentioned he's been thinking about writing and making music again, though without announcing anything specific.
There's also been a wave of new photos from the US. Jin shared backstage shots with the other members, including a photo with RM specifically to mark his birthday, captioned with a short "Happy Birthday Bro." V also posted more photos from the North American leg, along with a few new Stories.
Individual commitments haven't fully stopped either. V has new content out for TIRTIR, while Jimin appeared in a Dior × A24 post following the start of Dior's collaboration with the film studio A24. Jungkook also checked in briefly through an Instagram Story, while j-hope has been a bit quieter on social media these days.
There's just over two weeks left until the tour resumes. Bogotá is the first stop of the South American leg, followed by Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo.
