BTS was spotted together in public on February 2, 2026, as the group departed for overseas activities in Dubai. The boy group appeared to move calmly through the airport, greeting reporters and fans while maintaining a relaxed and friendly demeanor. Their appearance marked one of the first full-group public moments in a long time and drew strong attention from local and international fans.
During the short walk to the departure gate, the members joked with one another and kept the conversation going. They also took time to wave, bow, and make eye contact with fans instead of rushing through the terminal. Eagle-eyed reporters and fans highlighted the natural interaction among the members as a clear sign of the group’s close relationship and bond after years of working together.
This airport appearance comes as BTS is preparing the release of their fifth full-length album, “ARIRANG.” The project follows the anthology release “Proof” from June 2022 and becomes the first regular studio album since 2020. It will include 14 songs and is going to be supported by a large-scale world tour with 82 dates across the globe. The boy group will also hold a large-scale comeback stage at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on March 21, 2026, and will be streamed globally through Netflix to more than 190 regions.
