Currently, BTS in the midst of preparing for their upcoming free concert Yet to Come in Busan as part of the city's bid for the World Expo 2030. But despite their busy schedules, the members still took the time to celebrate an important holiday, Chuseok, with their fans ARMYs.
On September 8, the seven BTS members gathered together while wearing hanboks to hold a live broadcast through Weverse to spend the holiday with fans.

In particular, the members asked each other what they were doing during Chuseok and while they are taking an indefinite hiatus from their group activities.
In fact, this would be one of the few times that the members would get to spend a holiday with their respective families, as they had barely gotten any rest in the past nine years of their career.
To this, member Jin revealed that he went back home to his family to spend Chuseok with them in advance. J-Hope also revealed that he did the same, considering that traffic during Chuseok is always heavy.
