After almost four years away from group activities, global K-pop superstars BTS are gearing up for one of the most anticipated comebacks in music history. BigHit Music has officially confirmed that the beloved seven-member group will release a brand-new album on March 20, 2026, marking their first full-group project since their 2022 anthology Proof.

This return is especially meaningful for fans, known as ARMY, because it comes after each member completed South Korea’s mandatory military service. BTS has spent the hiatus pursuing solo work and growing individually, but now they’re reuniting with fresh energy and creativity. AP News

The news first thrilled fans when BTS sent handwritten New Year letters to Weverse members with the March 20 date included — a heartfelt and personal way to tease their comeback. 아무개의 음악 이야기
