BTS will have an official long vacation from the 6th and spend time with family. This is BTS' second long-term vacation since 2019.
BTS members Jimin, Jin, and Jungkook arrived at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2. They returned home after undergoing a quarantine procedure.
On November 17, BTS arrived in Los Angeles and won the prize for the first time as an Asian artist at the 'American Music Awards (AMAs).'
BTS also held the four-day world tour concerts at SoFi Stadium on November 27, 28, and December 1 and 2. A total of 214,000 fans gathered on this tour.
