BTS Full Group Appearance in NYC, RM Braves Injury

The group BTS has departed for New York, USA, after concluding their performance in Gwanghwamun, Seoul. RM appeared at the airport using crutches despite his injury, causing concern among fans.

On the morning of the 22nd, BTS members headed to New York through Incheon International Airport. The members showcased a unified casual airport fashion with navy windbreakers, adding their individual styles.

RM was seen moving with crutches due to an injury sustained during a comeback show rehearsal, but he showed a professional demeanor by greeting fans and reporters with a bright expression.

BTS received a fervent response the previous day (21st) at Gwanghwamun Square during 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG,' where they performed as a full group for the first time in approximately three years and nine months. Despite a demanding schedule that took them overseas immediately after the concert, they demonstrated unwavering composure, proving their status as global top artists.

Meanwhile, BTS member Jin appeared on the YouTube channel 'Life 84' and revealed that his mindset towards group activities has positively changed compared to the early days of their debut. Jin stated, "I used to think we might stop after about seven years, but as I continued, it became more fun and I became more sincere," adding that he felt he could continue activities for longer and more seriously thanks to the fans. He also praised the members' skills, jokingly saying he is the type to "get by on his looks."
