BTS is returning from a multi-year hiatus with a new album followed by a world tour, according to Reuters.
“March 20 Comeback Confirmed,” the K-pop group’s agency Big Hit Music said in a post Thursday, marking the boy band’s first studio album since 2020’s Be.
Before the official confirmation, the seven members teased their return in handwritten notes sent to some special fans to celebrate the New Year. In the messages, they hinted at being reunited soon with their loyal ARMY fanbase, cryptically writing the date March 20, 2026.
“We’ve waited more earnestly than anyone else,” RM wrote. “The year we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived,” Jimin added. “In 2026, we’ll make even more good memories, so look forward to it!” V said.
The band has been back in the studio together working since July, promising an album that will “reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas.”
