The aforementioned clip was a video of BTS' Jungkook sitting on a couch while Charlie Puth stands before him. The latter was seen spinning a bright fidget spinner while Jungkook watched on with a quiet, slightly confused smile.

BTS' LA prep continues with studio sessions, outings, and special guests like Charlie Puth
j-hope’s Instagram post gave fans a look into BTS’ current group activities. The members reunited in June after completing their mandatory military service. They have been in Los Angeles for weeks now, working on their group album scheduled for release in Spring 2026.
Besides the viral fidget spinner clip, j-hope’s post included snippets of other BTS members too. SUGA was spotted playing a guitar, possibly working on a track. On the other hand, RM appeared in a recording boot while Jimin was seen enjoying the sunlight outdoors.
While Jin and V didn’t directly appear in the carousel, V later shared a photo of Charlie Puth on his Instagram Story, confirming his presence at the meetup. The update hinted at a blend of work and downtime, from studio time to more relaxed outings.
With Charlie Puth seems to have accompanied group now, fans are speculating if there is another collaboration on the horizon. While nothing is certain, fans are buzzing at the notion of Jungkook and Charlie collaborating a second time.
As of now, all seven members of BTS are back from the military. The group’s reunion in LA has sparked buzz across fan communities.
