SEOUL – BTS have announced their return with
their fifth full-length album, the most-anticipated album of the year, set for
release on March 20 at midnight ET. Alongside the album, the band will embark
on a long-awaited world tour in support of the album.
The upcoming album reflects the culmination of
BTS’s journey to date and defines the group on their own terms. The members
devoted themselves to the album’s creation in the second half of 2025.
Comprising a total of 14 tracks, the album is driven by each member’s honest
introspection as they collectively shaped its direction by weaving their
individual perspectives into the music.
Alongside the album release, the band announced
their plan for the world tour, signaling BTS’ return to the global stage.
Details of the world tour, including dates and venues, will be announced on
January 14 at midnight KST. This marks their first large-scale tour in
approximately four years since 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE,' which
concluded in Las Vegas in April 2022. The tour is anticipated to be a defining
cultural moment, celebrating a reunion set to be etched in pop culture history.
Ahead of the announcement, BTS sent heartfelt,
handwritten letters to ARMY (BTS’ official fandom) worldwide. The handwritten
letters served as the first direct way BTS shared news of their comeback with
ARMY worldwide. Penned by each member and delivered directly to fans’ homes,
the letters expressed gratitude to those who have stood by the band over the
years. The letters were a gift for ARMY who have maintained their membership on
the global superfan platform Weverse. Members who do not receive the physical
letter will be able to receive the same letter on Weverse at the end of
January.
Additionally, BTS reset their official Instagram
account completely at midnight on January 1. This move immediately sparked
intense curiosity and speculation among fans and media worldwide. Social media
platforms were quickly flooded with reactions and hashtags related to BTS
trending in multiple countries within hours.
Grounded in years built together with fans
worldwide, this comeback marks a defining new era for BTS. With unparalleled
anticipation surrounding the release, the album is already being hailed as the
comeback of the decade, marking a defining moment in pop culture.
As a part of their comeback promotion, BTS has
launched a new official website (2026bts.com).
