New BTS album set for March release
BTS is all set to return with its fifth full-length album on March 20, a 14-track project reflecting the members' personal thoughts and experiences, the group's label BigHit Music announced on Monday, as per YONHAP News Agency.
The release marks the group's first studio album in more than six years, following "Map of the Soul: 7" in February 2020, and its first new group project since the anthology album "Proof" in June 2022.
"True to their identity as artists who express themselves through music, BTS poured their efforts into capturing the essence of who they are today," BigHit Music said in a statement.
In a Weverse update, BTS leader Kim Namjoon, aka RM, even teased a comeback as he said, "The music is coming out really well!! Everyone's trying. Please look forward to it."
A presale will take place Jan. 22 and Jan. 23 for ARMY Membership holders who register on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company HYBE. A general sale for all regions will follow on Jan. 24.
BTS end hiatus post military service
The news arrives a few weeks after the entertainment company BigHit Music revealed that BTS will make their return to music on March 20, following a nearly four-year hiatus. That's because all seven members of BTS - RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook and j-hope - had to complete South Korea's mandatory military service.
Rapper Suga was the last group member to be released, from his duties as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose due to a shoulder injury. That was in June 2025.
The six others, RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope, served in the army.
