Fans predicted that the first scheduled event (July 31, 12AM KST) would be a teaser for BTS’s comeback, but when the clock struck twelve, this popped up instead.

Needless to say, fans were disappointed. For one thing, following BTS on music platforms, including Spotify, is already a given.
the next countdown gna be like: “Remember to follow @/BTS_twt to keep up with the boys 💜”
