As 2025 wraps up, the global music scene is buzzing with excitement, and for good reason. Fans have been waiting for the return of BTS, the K-pop supergroup that changed pop culture forever. After years of solo projects and mandatory military service, the boys are gearing up for what could be one of the most anticipated comebacks of the decade.
The hype around BTS has never truly died down. Even during their hiatus, each member continued to drop solo projects, collaborate with artists across pop, rap, and R&B, and stay connected with their loyal fanbase, the ARMY. That bond between the group and their fans is what keeps their name alive in both the pop and hip-hop worlds.
Now, after three long years, there’s finally some solid news to celebrate. Jimin, one of the group’s most beloved members, gave fans the confirmation they’ve been waiting for, and it’s everything the ARMY hoped to hear.
Jimin confirms BTS’ comeback album is complete
During a livestream on Saturday, November 1, following a special appearance, Jimin revealed that BTS’ next album is officially done and ready for release.
“Guys, we just finished recording,” said Jimin. “It can come out next spring. Seeing you today, I really feel like promoting our music.”
That single statement set the internet on fire. Fans immediately took to social media, expressing their excitement and counting down the days until BTS returns to the spotlight.

Back in 2022, the group announced their hiatus to fulfill South Korea’s mandatory military service, which led each member to focus on solo music careers. Now, with everyone officially discharged as of June 2025, the timing for their reunion couldn’t be better.
New album, new era, and a global tour ahead
Last month, RM hinted that the group was in the final stretch of production, revealing that they were putting the last creative touches on the project, from perfecting the visuals to filming the highly anticipated music video.
Now, according to a recent Bloomberg report, the wait might not be long. The upcoming BTS album is reportedly set for release in March 2026, marking the group’s first full comeback in four years. Alongside the release, the band is preparing for a massive 65-show global tour, their biggest yet. More than 30 of those concerts are rumored to take place in North America, showing just how powerful their worldwide reach remains.
Although official tour dates haven’t been revealed, the buzz online is already unstoppable. ARMYs are trading theories, saving up for tickets, and sharing memories of past concerts. It’s clear that this isn’t just another comeback, it’s the start of a new era.
What makes this return even more special is how BTS continues to bridge genres. Their influence has stretched far beyond K-pop, shaping sounds and trends across rap, hip-hop, and global pop culture. Every release from the group feels like a moment in music history, and this one seems destined to be no different.
After years of solo projects and quiet anticipation, BTS is stepping back into the spotlight, stronger, wiser, and ready to remind the world why they changed music forever.
