K-pop superstar septet BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour.
Members Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jungkook and Suga made the announcement on Tuesday during a live stream on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company Hybe.
It was the first time all seven members have broadcast live together since September 2022.
“We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year,” the band said in a statement. “Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
