Feb 14, 2033. Kim Taehyung has posted in his IG story a picture of ARMY holding their army bombs at the sky deck of NamSan Tower at night time, with lighted Christmas trees in the background. This picture is believed to have been taken in December last year, along with his second IG post of a selfie in the same location. This is only the third picture posted by Taehyung in his personal account, the first being a picture of what fans believe to be his hand and that of his friend's and fellow BTS member, Park Jimin. Both figured in a near fatal accident onstage in 2022, and Jimin is reportedly still in a coma. Taehyung has been previously absent from social media since that time, while his managing company has been handling his press releases for his acting projects and public appearances after his recovery. The post follows closely after an invitation was posted by fellow BTS member Jeon Jungkook for their fandom, ARMY, for an event that may be held on June 13, 2033, which marks the 20th year of BTS since their debut. Fans of BTS worldwide have been dominating SNS since the announcement, while awaiting further details of the event. (ANN)

March 15, 2022. Business circles in Seoul, South Korea are closely monitoring the music industry as recent movements in the small record label of BTS member Jeon Jungkook was perceived to be causing ripples in the Korea Stock Exchange. JK Limited has applied for increase in shares of stock. Although not a publicly-listed company, it is assumed that JKL is preparing for new investors which, based on their recent activity in social media, could be his fellow BTS members. BTS' contract with its managing company, HYBE, ended in 2025 and BTS members' net worth at that time was estimated to be over KRW10B for each member. Public speculation points to the rise of JKL as a possible competitor of HYBE; however, there may be pitfalls in the small print as HYBE is assumed to be the legal owner of all BTS content, including its trademark.

March 30, 2033. In its IG account, JKL has posted another invitation to BTS fanbase, ARMY, for a 7th Muster on June 13, 7 PM at the Seoul Olympic Stadium. A link to a digital registration platform has also been posted, where ARMY members were asked to register if they wanted to watch the event onsite or online. From the announcement in the portal, it appears that this is a treat for ARMY, at no expense. Seats at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium will be raffled off to ARMY members who are currently in Seoul. This is the first event of BTS after their tragic concert on February 12, 2022 wherein a member of their fanbase died. (TKT)

April 19, 2033. Over 7 years after disbanding, BTS has once again sparked public interest worldwide as it appears that the group is beginning to muster its ARMY once again. After a tragedy in their last concert in 2022, BTS removed itself from the entertainment and music scene, with individual members venturing on their own. At the height of their popularity, the BTS touch significantly impacted businesses small and large, with their managing company HYBE being the best example. Rumors have it that HYBE has struck an agreement with the group's new managing company JKL, run by fellow member Jeon Jungkook, and that the boys will be fully supported by both companies. An even wilder rumor is that former South Korean President Moon Jae-in, an esteemed lawyer before he assumed the presidency, negotiated the agreement with HYBE to the best advantage of BTS. Retail markets are preparing for the financial uptick that will result from BTS' return to their place as the biggest boyband in the world. (TEUK)
