Seoul — K-pop superstars BTS have officially announced the release of a brand-new album scheduled for March, marking their long-awaited return as a full group ahead of a global world tour that has already sparked massive excitement among fans worldwide.
The announcement was confirmed by the group’s agency, Big Hit Music, signalling the end of BTS’s hiatus that began in 2022 due to mandatory military service commitments. With all seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — now having completed their service, the group is preparing to reunite on the global music stage.
The upcoming album will be BTS’s first collective release in nearly four years and follows their 2022 anthology album Proof, which went on to become South Korea’s best-selling record of the year. Industry experts believe the new release will not only dominate charts but also mark a defining moment for the global K-pop industry.
News of the album was initially shared with members of BTS’s official fan club, ARMY, through heartfelt handwritten messages from the group, before being formally announced. Leader RM expressed his eagerness for the comeback, noting that the members have been waiting just as passionately as their fans to return together.
In addition to the album, Big Hit Music confirmed that BTS will embark on a world tour later in the year. While specific dates and locations have yet to be revealed, expectations are already high for sold-out shows across Asia, Europe, the Americas and beyond.
BTS’s return is being seen as a major cultural moment, given the group’s immense global influence, record-breaking achievements on streaming platforms, and continued dominance on international charts. Analysts predict the comeback will have a significant impact on music markets worldwide.
As anticipation builds, March is shaping up to be a landmark month for millions of fans eagerly awaiting new music and live performances from one of the world’s most influential music groups.
