The band's Twitter message included a poster showing a list of dates and city names. There was no explanation attached, but fans figured out that a shape that resembles the Arabic number "7" would appear if they connect the cities the same way as connecting dots with lines on the world map.

BTS' original tweet was shared more than 164,800 times in less than 11 hours of upload. Tens of thousands of fans have left comments to share their excitement. "Ok I am SO mindblown at this moment I can't properly think...WOW! A 7 CONNECTS all these cities..." said Twitter user "OWOLMovie".
