(posted on February 13, 2026) announces that BTS is featured on the cover of GQ Magazine's global March 2026 issue, titled "BTS Begins Again".It shares four high-fashion group photos from the photoshoot (shot by Dukhwa Jang and styled by Mobolaji Dawodu). The images show the seven members (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) in sophisticated, tailored outfits — dark suits, elegant coats, ties — posed in what appears to be a press-conference or formal interview setting with microphones and a serious yet charismatic atmosphere.

This is a landmark moment for several reasons:
- It marks BTS's first full-group magazine cover and major group pictorial since before/during their military service hiatus (2022–late 2025). Many fans in the replies explicitly mention crying or feeling emotional because it's their "first OT7 magazine cover" after so long.
- The timing is symbolic: released right after all members completed mandatory military service and reunited. The title "BTS Begins Again" perfectly captures the narrative of a second chapter — not just a comeback, but a mature, evolved version of the group.
- Visually and conceptually the photos scream "grown-up BTS": confident, powerful, luxurious styling — a clear shift from their earlier colorful, youthful concepts toward a more timeless, statesman-like image.
- The post links to (and is basically reposting/teasing) GQ's official announcement, which confirms:
- Fifth studio album (first in nearly six years) → expected around March 20, 2026 (hinted by fan accounts saying "ARIRANG 2026.03.20")
- A massive global world tour to follow
- In-depth group interview by Raymond Ang, conducted in South Korea after their LA reunion sessions in mid-2025
