BTS Confirms New Album and World Tour for 2026 After 3-Year Hiatus

In November 2025, BTS fans were thrilled to receive a major update on the group's long-awaited comeback. During a recent livestream, member Jimin shared that the group has completed recording their new album, which is now set to be released in spring 2026. This marks the first time the full 7-member BTS will release new music together since 2022, as the members had been fulfilling their mandatory military service over the past 3 years.

The news of the completed album recording has sent the BTS ARMY fanbase into a frenzy of excitement. Jimin confirmed that the songs have been finalized and are ready to be unveiled to the public next year. Immediately following the album release, BTS will embark on a world tour, though details about the tour schedule have not yet been provided.

Separately, the oldest member of the group, Jin, recently finished his first solo tour in Incheon, South Korea. For the encore stage, Jin was joined by some of his fellow BTS members, creating an emotional moment for the artists and their devoted fans. This solo tour marked an important milestone for Jin as he continues to explore his individual musical pursuits, even as the group prepares for their highly anticipated comeback as a full 7-member act.
