K-pop group BTS’ comeback has an official date. According to a note shared to social media by the entertainment company BigHit Music, the mega-popular group will return on March 20.
That’s after a nearly four-year hiatus, as all seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook, and j-hope — completed South Korea’s mandatory military service. “March 20th comeback confirmed,” BigHit Music wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Rapper Suga was the last group member to be released from his duties as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose due to a shoulder injury. That was in June 2025. The six others, RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope, served in the army.
BTS tiered their enlistments, giving ample time for its members to focus on solo projects while the group was on a break. Last summer, the group teased a world tour and announced that a new album would be released in the spring of 2026. At the time, they said they would begin working on the project in July 2025.
