Jin, RM (Namjoon), V (Taehyung), J-Hope, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook were seen travelling together with their luggage and management team around 6:30pm UAE time. Korean media reports confirmed that the group was departing for an overseas schedule, though no official destination or purpose has been announced.
The sighting quickly went viral, with images and videos circulating across X, Instagram and fan communities. For ARMY — BTS’s global fanbase — the appearance was particularly significant, as public outings featuring all seven members together have been rare since the group began fulfilling their mandatory military service.
Despite the growing excitement, neither BTS nor their agency has confirmed the reason behind the reported UAE trip. Fans have been speculating about possible explanations, ranging from a private engagement or brand collaboration to preparations for a future performance or international project. For now, these remain unconfirmed.

Dubai has increasingly become a key destination for major K-pop acts in recent years, thanks to its large international fanbase, high-profile venues and growing reputation as a global entertainment hub. Several Korean artists and groups have included the city in recent tour schedules, further adding to the anticipation surrounding BTS’s reported arrival.
BTS last performed together before entering their military hiatus, making this OT7 sighting especially notable. With all members now reunited and travelling together, fans believe the trip could signal the group’s gradual return to full-scale activities.
As ARMY continues to track developments closely, attention is now focused on Dubai’s airports, official channels and social media for any confirmation. Until an official statement is released, BTS’s presence in the UAE remains unconfirmed — but the excitement is already in full swing.
