Details of the Comeback

The group's entertainment company, BigHit Music, shared the exciting news on social media. Rapper Suga was the last to finish his duties, completing his service in June 2025. The other members—RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin, and j-hope—also served in the army.

Interestingly, BTS planned their enlistments in stages, allowing each member to focus on solo projects during the group's break.

Upcoming Album and Tour

They described the album as a reflection of each member's thoughts and ideas, calling it a fresh start, much like their early days.

First Album Since 2022

This upcoming album will be their first since 2022's "Proof." It will also follow their 2021 Japanese compilation "BTS, the Best" and their last studio album, "Be," released in 2020.

Fans are eager to see what BTS has in store for them.

Highly Anticipated Return

The group's return is highly anticipated. Their fans, known as ARMY, have been patiently waiting. With the comeback date set, the excitement is building. BTS is sure to bring something special to the table.
