BTS is set to make a comeback on March 20 with a full-length album.
The global K-pop sensation announced the release of their fifth studio album on the superfan platform Weverse at midnight on January 5. The new album will be available at 1 p.m. KST on March 20. This album marks BTS’s first full group release in three years and nine months since their anthology album ‘Proof’ in June 2022. It is also their first studio album in six years and one month since ‘MAP OF THE SOUL : 7,’ which was released in February 2020.
The new album will feature a total of 14 tracks. True to their history of consistently expressing their thoughts through music since their debut, BTS has worked diligently to capture their current essence in this release. During the latter half of 2025, the members focused on album production, reflecting their individual thoughts in the music and collectively shaping the album’s direction.
Each track reflects the emotions and thoughts they have experienced on their journey. The album also conveys a sense of gratitude towards their devoted fan base, ARMY, who have patiently awaited their return. The narratives woven into all the songs convey BTS’s story and serve as a heartfelt message to the fans who have stood by them.
BTS further heightened anticipation for their future activities by announcing plans to reveal their world tour schedule at midnight on January 14. This large-scale tour will mark their first in approximately four years since the conclusion of ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ in Las Vegas in April 2022. The dual announcement of the album release and tour plans has quickly captured the attention of global music fans.
As part of their comeback promotion, BTS has launched a new official website. Information related to the new album and world tour will be updated sequentially on the site.
