BTS's Return and Album Completion

“Guys, we just finished recording. Seeing you today, I really feel like promoting our music.”
The album is expected to release in spring 2026.
Impact of Solo Projects on Group Music
In April 2025, J-Hope discussed how their solo activities have shaped BTS’s next work in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1:
“I think that over time, we each refined our unique identities as each of us work on their own music, come out with their solo projects and do their own thing. The funny thing for me is when our identities, which have taken shape in various ways, come together as BTS. I’m curious to see how it’ll look like… I think it’s going to be a massive energy.”
What to Expect
