A few days ago, RM (Kim Nam-joon), the leader of the Bangtan Boys (BTS), posted a carousel of photos on his official Instagram account. The rapper is in the middle of his mandatory military service and will be discharged in June 2025. ARMYs are happy to see updates from the Forever Rain singer, especially since it is speculated that all the members of BTS will be reuniting this year after their military service is over.

In Nam-joon's caption, he wrote "살민.. 살아진다," which roughly translates to

"Salmin.. It comes to life" - @rkive wrote.

Since the comments on the post are limited, only one response can be seen from another BTS member, V. The rough translation of V's reply reads,

"Is it for real? Lmfao" - @thv responded in the comments.

One of the photos from the carousel was reposted by a fan account on X. @Livheartt reposted the seventh image from RM's photo dump. The photo features Kim Nam-joon in a dance studio, sitting in front of a chair and taking a selfie. This specific photo sparked speculation that something new might be in the works. @Livheartt captioned the reposted photo on X:

"Namjoon at their dance studio 👀 hobi going back and forth to Seoul between his Asia tour venues 👀 THEYRE COOKING I CAN SMELL IT!"

How did fans react to RM's photo at the dance studio in his latest Instagram post?

After a fan account (@Livheartt) reposted the photo and suggested that "THEYRE (BTS) COOKING," ARMYs jumped on the bandwagon with their own theories and speculations. The post has more than 86K views, and these are some of the comments:

Another user responded to the caption and said:

"They definitely are I can't waittttt😭 " - @purple_paisely7 replied.

One ARMY wrote:

"I was thinking the same thing!!!! It’s definitely cooking! 🥳🥳🥳 "- @SherryLuvsBTS said.

Some eagle-eyed fans took note of the sofa in the background. They commented:

"Yessss!!!!!! maybe we’ll get FESTA 2025 Family portraits after all (or maybe the sofa is a prop for Jin’s Tour?)" - @SShimmer345 wrote.

Another commented a GIF of j-hope giving the side-eye and smirking. They wrote:

"There's a sofa too" - @littletaeimida commented.

One user said:

"Just seeing Namjoon's sweet face heals something inside of me." - @andiisreading expressed.

While nobody knows what the Lost! singer or BTS is up to. One netizen asked:

"Tour????" - @rhe26120 enquired.

Another user reminded everyone that BTS said 2025 is an important year for them. They wrote:

"Yep. They have said multiple times throughout the last 3 yrs they can't wait to be together again. They were excited for 2025." - @cidorta stated.

BTS fans are coming up with different ideas and reasons why RM took a photo in the dance studio. Some even suggested that they might be creating a music video or that the couch is a part of J-Hope's tour. Fans are waiting with bated breath for all the BTS members to unite again after getting discharged from the military this year.
