It’s been nearly three years since BTS (방탄소년단) announced their hiatus, and the long-awaited reunion of the beloved K-pop group is finally happening this weekend, 21st June (Saturday), as member Suga prepares to be discharged from the military. At the same time, ARMYs around the world have been buzzing with anticipation, eager to see the members back on stage together.
During their final group performance at the “Yet To Come” concert on 15th October 2022, the members promised fans that they would return with even more unforgettable music and performances after completing their military service. Now, according to an exclusive interview with The Korea Herald, BTS is planning a powerful comeback in March 2026.
Two overseas sources confirmed that BTS wants to make their return alongside their labelmate, Tomorrow X Tomorrow (투모로우바이투게더). Additionally, a statement made by ENHYPEN mentioned how they had to push back their homecoming to January to make space for their seniors. This allows both groups to shine and connect with their audience, respectively.
The long-awaited comeback marks BTS’ first group album since their 2022 anthology album “Proof”. Knowing that ARMYs would begin counting the days till BTS returns, Lee Jae-sang, CEO of HYBE, stated that the boys would need time to get back into the rhythm and cook up something that’ll re-emphasise why BTS is one of the biggest K-pop groups.
Just last weekend, J-hope (제이홉) wrapped up his “Hope on the Stage” tour – in time for the group’s 12th anniversary. The group also had an unofficial reunion as all the members attended the concert to support their group-mate. Fans cheered as Jin (진) and Jungkook (정국) joined him on the stage, giving ARMYs a glimpse of the old group they know and love.
Meanwhile, Jin is set to embark on his own world tour later this month, continuing through August, to promote his solo album “Echo”. With all the buzz surrounding the group’s comeback, ARMYs are eagerly anticipating a performance and album that will undoubtedly make the wait worthwhile.
