BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will make its comeback on March 20. This will be the group’s first full-group album since the anthology album “PROOF”, released in June 2022, approximately 3 years and 9 months ago.
The comeback date was first revealed through a handwritten letter recently sent by BTS to ARMY (the fandom’s name). To celebrate the New Year, the members wrote letters by hand that were delivered directly to fans’ homes. While expressing their gratitude to those who have remained by their side without wavering, they wrote the date “2026.03.20” on the paper, clearly hinting at their return.
The members shared heartfelt handwritten messages:
-
“We waited more eagerly than anyone else” (RM)
-
“Thank you endlessly for waiting for us” (JIN)
-
“Let’s spend this year together happily again. I love you” (SUGA)
-
“What we imagined is finally becoming reality!” (J-HOPE)
-
“The year we reunite has arrived” (JIMIN)
-
“In 2026, we’ll create even more beautiful memories, so look forward to it!” (V)
-
“I miss you! Let’s rely on each other again this year” (JUNGKOOK)
This letter was a gift for ARMY who maintained their membership on the global fan platform Weverse over the past three years, sharing countless memories with BTS. Fans who did not receive the physical letter will be able to view the same message on Weverse at the end of January. The goal is for all fans, both in Korea and internationally, to feel the emotions of the seven members.
On the last day of 2025, BTS reunited as a full group for a live broadcast on Weverse, celebrating the New Year together with fans. Reflecting on the past year, they also shared their wishes for the future: “We hope to return smoothly this year and that the album will be a huge success. Let’s make it a massive hit, BTS!”
In addition, following the release of their new album on March 20, BTS will embark on a large-scale world tour. Further details regarding the album and concerts will be revealed later through official channels.
