BTS members Jin, V, and Jimin made an appearance in a lighthearted cooking video released by Vogue on March 27, 2026. In the clip, the trio worked together in the kitchen to prepare janchi guksu, a Korean noodle soup, and misugaru, a traditional drink made with powdered grains. The video shows Jin taking the lead, as he is the member with the most cooking experience; meanwhile, V and Jimin helped as his sous chefs. The vibe quickly turned playful as the group joked around while following Jin’s instructions.
V and Jimin brought most of the comedy to the video. V kept tossing the noodles into the air while draining them, and Jimin became distracted while making the misugaru. Instead of carefully measuring ingredients, he kept adding large amounts of sugar to the drink. At one point, Jin tasted it and admitted that it was actually good. Jimin proudly explained that it was Busan style, with more sugar than people might think. Later, V even joked that Jimin had used up all the sugar. During the cooking session, V briefly described ARIRANG as a project that shows the group’s desire to make a change.
The cooking video arrived exactly one week after BTS released their new album, ARIRANG, on March 20, 2026. Since then, the group has moved quickly through a busy promotion schedule. On March 21, 2026, BTS held a major comeback show in Seoul, marking their first concert in more than three years. After that, the group traveled to New York City for a Spotify event and also appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for an interview and performed two songs.
