BTS delighted fans around the world after their agency, BigHit Music, confirmed the K-pop boy band’s long-awaited return.
The group will be back in the spotlight after a four-year hiatus now that all seven members, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, have completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.
They confirmed that their new album will be released on March 20, while sharing handwritten messages with select members of their official fan community, BTS ARMY.
In personal messages shared with fans, the members spoke about the long separation, their excitement to reunite in 2026 and their commitment to creating new memories together.
According to korean times, rapping leader RM aka Kim Nam-joon wrote, “I’m waiting for (this comeback) more than anyone.”
“The year we finally meet again,” singer Jimin and rapper J-Hope shared, while rapper Suga, aka Min Yoon-gi, wrote, “Let’s have a joyful year together!”
Meanwhile, V wrote: “In 2026, we will make even more and even better memories together. So please look forward to it!”
“My heart has always been the same. I will continue to do my best just like I always have,” said singer Jungkook, while Jin wrote, “I have greeted you as a solo artist for the past two years.”
“And now I can finally greet you again as part of the team,” the message added.
The group announced that they would record their 10th studio album in July during a Weverse last year.
“We will be visiting fans all over the world,” they said. “So we hope you are as excited as we are.”
