BTS, the South Korean supergroup that has broken countless records, is reportedly planning a massive world tour in 2026. Fans are extremely excited because Mumbai could be on the list, marking a historic first for Indian ARMYs.
According to News18, leaked touring data hints at stops in major cities like Seoul, Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and notably, Mumbai. If true, this would be a long-awaited milestone for India’s dedicated BTS ARMY.
### BTS One Step Closer to Connecting with Indian Fans
Despite India’s enthusiastic K-pop fanbase, the country has not been featured on official tour itineraries. The infamous “Map of the Soul” tour in 2020 was rumored to include India, but the tour was cancelled due to the pandemic.
This time, the addition of Mumbai represents more than just a concert. HYBE, BTS’ management agency, recently expanded its presence in India by launching overseas headquarters in Mumbai. For the band, performing in Mumbai would mean connecting with fans who have waited years for this moment.
The excitement is already running high, with “BTS in Mumbai” trending across social media platforms.

### Behind the Scenes: Jungkook’s Struggle with Privacy
Beneath the surface of global fame lies a more personal struggle for BTS members, especially Jungkook. Like many celebrities, Jungkook has faced repeated invasions of privacy.
In June 2025, the day Jungkook was discharged from military service, a Chinese woman was found attempting to enter his Seoul apartment, punching random numbers into his door lock. The woman was eventually acquitted, with prosecutors ruling that her actions did not constitute a complete attempt at trespassing and noting she was unlikely to reoffend.
Weeks later, another incident occurred when a Korean woman entered the parking lot of Jungkook’s residence in Seoul, prompting police to intervene and detain her. She now faces trial for violating anti-stalking laws.
BTS members, Jungkook included, have long dealt with sasaengs—obsessive fans who cross boundaries in pursuit of personal interaction. Jungkook himself once pleaded during a livestream, “Please don’t come here. Don’t cross the line.”

### Jungkook’s Return: Navigating Fame and Fan Expectations
After completing his mandatory 18-month military service, Jungkook returned to civilian life alongside fellow member Jimin, shortly after V and RM. The band reunited in South Korea in September, coming back from Los Angeles where they were working on their new album.
Their last collective studio album, *Proof*, was released in 2022.
The rumored Mumbai concert is more than just a potential tour stop; it symbolizes K-pop’s expanding global reach and BTS’ deepening bond with fans worldwide—including those in India who have patiently awaited this moment for years.
