Global K-pop group BTS reunited in the United States for the first time in four years, staging an exclusive, small-scale performance for select fans in New York City.
The event, hosted by Spotify, brought together all seven members, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, marking their first US appearance since their 2022 concerts in Las Vegas.
Held at an invitation-only venue, the show was attended by approximately 1,000 top listeners, creating a rare intimate setting in contrast to the group’s usual stadium-scale performances.
During the event, BTS performed tracks from their newly released album “Arirang”, including songs such as “SWIM” and “2.0,” while also engaging with fans through interactive segments and discussions.
The reunion comes after a nearly four-year hiatus, largely due to members completing mandatory military service and pursuing solo projects.
Industry observers view the low-key US performance as a strategic prelude to the group’s wider global comeback, with a major world tour scheduled to begin in April 2026.
