They are set to return in spring 2026 with new music and a world tour, reported Variety.

"We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year," the group said in a statement. "Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music.

We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started," added the BTS band in a live stream, according to Variety. BTS will begin recording new music in the US next month and start planning for a massive world tour. "We're also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We'll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you're as excited as we are," said the band as quoted by Variety. The group's last tour, 'BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage,' concluded almost four years ago and drew over 4 million attendees.
