HYBE's building lights up ahead of BTS's reunion
What's the story
As the military discharges of BTS members RM, SUGA, V, Jimin, and Jungkook approach, their agency HYBE has welcomed them with a grand "WE ARE BACK" projection at its headquarters.
The letters W and A were designed as symbols of BTS and ARMY—⟭⟬ and ⟬⟭.
This creative display is part of HYBE's tradition to project meaningful messages ahead of BTS's debut anniversaries.
