Save 56%* In the nearly four years since they went on hiatus for mandatory military service in South Korea, the members of BTS have grown as artists and men, launching distinct solo careers to huge success.

Now, the biggest band in the world is reuniting with a fifth studio album, a massive global tour and a definitive answer to whether they’re stronger alone or together. Raymond Ang Jang Dukhwa Mobolaji Dawodu mid-2025, right after the final member of BTS, the biggest band in the world, had served out the mandatory military service required of every able-bodied male in South Korea, the seven members of the group decamped for Los Angeles to reunite under one roof.

The seven – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook – had been in the band together since the early 2010s, when they were all still teenagers, but had not lived in the same place since 2019. After a few years apart, fulfilling their service and tending to solo careers, it was time to get back to work. “We’d do six days a week, like businessmen,” says RM, the band’s leader. They followed a strict routine: training together in the gym in the morning, coming back home for lunch, reporting to the studio by 1pm, and working with various songwriters and producers on new songs until about 8pm, after which they’d all go back home.

Living in one place as housemates once again, BTS were inadvertently doing a simulation of life before superstardom, back to their days as trainees for Big Hit Entertainment (later rebranded as Hybe Corporation) when they would’ve given anything just to debut. This was before they sold over 500 million units and racked up over 104 billion streams worldwide.

Before they became the first Korean band to be nominated for a Grammy, to top the Billboard 200 album chart and the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, to speak at the United Nations. Before they became a global cultural force, the bestselling Asian act ever, and one of the bestselling groups – of any genre, any nation, any time – period. By now, the BTS mythology is well-worn: in 2010, Big Hit Entertainment, then an underdog record label in Seoul, signed a 16-year-old RM, who was already making a name for himself as a prodigious rapper in the local underground hip-hop scene.

Actor LEWIS PULLMAN Faces His Fears………………….. The Story of the Hardest School to Get Into: the University of Rolex………………………………………….. Behind the Scenes With the People Who Make GQ MAHALIA CHANG Style editor, British GQ ANNIE REID Photographer For this March issue, style editor Mahalia Chang asked some of the most stylish men and women on earth about their ride-or-die shirts. “I’m not sure what possessed me to interview 46 separate people, but in the end, it turned out to be a very fun challenge.

Digging into something as simple as shirts, but looking at it from 46 different angles and perspectives allows you to really get into the weeds of the thing. I don’t think I’ve ever thought so much about plackets and collar points and yarns, but I’m fairly sure now I could find a killer shirt with my eyes closed.” London-based photographer Annie Reid threw a party in the studio for the photo shoot of nightlife collective Eastern Margins. “It was such a fun, high-energy day from start to finish,” she says.

“I really wanted to capture personality, rather than aiming for something overly perfect – those off-guard, in-between moments that feel honest and real. It was all about creating images that felt authentic to the talent.” O f f i c e G r a i l s COVER STORY BTS: Take Two for the World’s Biggest Band………………………………………………………… The Scams, the Price Hikes, the Rip-Offs: How Ticket Touting Exploded in the Digital Age…………………………
