Popular K-pop band BTS is all set to make a comeback on March 20 by releasing a new album.
The album will be the first released by the seven-member group in more than three years since the 2022 anthology album “Proof”, the group’s agency Big Hit Music said in a statement.
BTS’s activities as a group had been on hiatus as the members carried out South Korea’s mandatory military service in turn.
BTS is a globally acclaimed South Korean K-pop group formed in 2010. The new album marks their big return. The members had also shared the release date with their fans by sending letters with handwritten messages with the dateline of “2026.3.20.” on New Year.
Among the messages, RM wrote that he’d been waiting for this moment more desperately than anyone. “I greeted you all as a soloist in 2023 and 2024, but I can finally greet you as part of a team again,” Jin wrote.
J-Hope wrote, finally, it’s the year that we will all be together with you!! Please take good care of us this year as well, shared Jungkook. The seven-member band also has members Suga, Jimin and V.
Originally a hip hop group, the members expanded their musical style to incorporate a wide range of genres, while their lyrics have focused on subjects including mental health, the troubles of school-age youth and coming of age, loss, the journey towards self-love, individualism and the consequences of fame and recognition.
