K-pop popular BTS confirms March 2026 comeback nearly after four-year hiatus

BTS ends their four-year hiatus with a new album and world tour announced for March 2026, following the members' completion of military service.

"We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year ... We're also planning a world tour. - BTS Group Statement"

Seoul, January 1

In a major treat for the ARMYs, popular K-pop boy band BTS is all set to make a full-fledged return to the music scene, marking a first in nearly four years.

In an official announcement, the band's agency BigHit Music unveiled their comeback date. "March 20 Comeback Confirmed," the post read.

The March 2026 comeback will bring an end to BTS's four-year hiatus since they joined the country's mandatory military services. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the beloved K-pop stars RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.

According to Billboard, the band will release a new album on March 20, 2026, their first since 2022's 'Proof', after which they paused group activities.

Besides military services, the members were also engaged in a multitude of solo projects.

Following the conclusion of their military services, the artists had been hinting at new music for a while now. In a Weverse update, BTS leader Kim Namjoon, aka RM, even teased a comeback as he said, "The music is coming out really well!! Everyone's trying. Please look forward to it."

Jungkook fuelled it further with his remark, "I think this spring will be more important than ever. So I sincerely hope you all have a safe and enjoyable spring," as quoted by Billboard.

Jung Kook, Suga, RM, V, and Jimin were discharged from the South Korean military in June 2025, months after J-Hope and Jin were discharged.

At that time, the artists, in a group statement, said, "We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year ... 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."

Known for riding high on K-pop, BTS has even made it to the Billboard charts.

Some of their most popular tracks are 'Butter', 'Dynamite', 'Stay', 'Fake Love', 'Life Goes On', and 'Black Swan', among others.

As an Indian ARMY, this is the best news to start the year! Respect to all members for completing their national duty. Their discipline is inspiring. March 2026 feels so far, but it will be worth the wait. Jungkook's hint about spring makes perfect sense now.

Great to see them back as a group. Their solo projects were good, but nothing beats the synergy of all seven together. I do hope the new music has the same depth as some of their older Korean tracks, not just the global pop hits.

My daughter is a huge fan and has been counting the days. It's nice to see a group handle a hiatus with such maturity—fulfilling military service and pursuing individual growth. The comeback announcement has made her entire week!

March 2026 is perfectly timed. Exams will be over! 😅 Jokes aside, their work ethic is something our youth can learn from. Balancing national service, solo careers, and then regrouping—it shows incredible teamwork and planning.

The hype is real! But I just hope the album isn't over-commercialized. 'Proof' was a beautiful anthology. Hoping for more of their authentic storytelling and less of the purely chart-targeting English singles. Still, absolutely thrilled! #BTSComeback
