Are We Ready for BTS’ Comeback Next Year?

ARMY, it’s finally happening! BTS is expected to drop a full-group album in 2025, and if that’s not exciting enough, a massive world tour is planned for 2026!

According to Lee Hwa Jung, a researcher at NH Investment & Securities, their comeback will bring a big boost to HYBE’s sales, with the scale of the concerts and ticket sales set to skyrocket.

While other HYBE artists like SEVENTEEN, ENHYPEN, TXT, and more have been keeping busy, BTS’ absence as a group has definitely been felt. But once they’re back together, HYBE’s profits are predicted to soar. No wonder this news has ARMYs (and pretty much everyone else online) going wild.

Right now, five members of BTS are still serving in the military. Jin and J-Hope are already back, with Jin finishing in June 2024 and J-Hope returning in October.

The rest—SUGA, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—will all be done by June 2025, just in time for the comeback.

And, it’s been a while since the first K-pop act to be nominated for GRAMMY released anything as a group (their last album Proof was in 2022), but they’ve been making waves as solo artists:
 • Jin dropped his first solo album; Happy.
 • SUGA gave us his debut studio album; D-DAY in 2023.
 • J-Hope released; HOPE ON THE STREET Vol.1 earlier this year.
 • RM and Jimin both put out their second solo albums—Right Place, Wrong Person and MUSE.
 • V released three singles in 2024—FRI(END)S, Winter Ahead, and White Christmas.
 • Jungkook’s debut album GOLDEN came out in 2023, and last week, he even surprised fans with a record-breaking Weverse live in his new house while on a break during his military service.

J-hope talks about this in Weverse Magazine interview:

— “There are certainly things we need to do as BTS. When we’re all back together as a group, it’s going to have a huge impact, and everybody’s going to be watching. I’m excited to see what it’ll feel like when we perform together again. I want to come back in style and say, “This is us. This is BTS.” I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you the other members feel the same way. What hasn’t changed is that I really, really love to do it.”

The countdown to 2025 has officially begun, and BTS’ comeback is surely going to be massive. Get ready, ARMY! BTS is coming back to take over the world once again.💜
