BTS's comeback has been confirmed for March 20. It will be about 3 years and 9 months since they released their anthology album 'Proof' in June 2022. The comeback date was first revealed through a handwritten letter sent to ARMY (BTS fans). As the new year approached, BTS delivered handwritten letters to fans' homes, expressing gratitude for their continued support and hinting at the comeback date '2026.03.20'. The members conveyed heartfelt messages: 'I have been waiting more than anyone (RM)', 'Thank you for waiting (Jin)', 'Let's have fun together this year. I love you (SUGA)', 'Finally, what I was thinking has become a reality! (J-HOPE)', 'The year we meet has come (Jimin)', 'In 2026, we will create even more wonderful memories, so please look forward to it! (V)', 'I want to see you! Thank you for this year too (Jungkook)'. This letter was delivered as a gift to ARMY, who have maintained their membership on the global super fan platform 'Weverse' over the past three years, creating memories with BTS. Members who did not receive the physical letter can check similar messages through Weverse starting at the end of January. Fans both domestic and international who have been waiting will be able to share the members' feelings. BTS welcomed the new year with a Weverse LIVE broadcast on the last day of 2025, reflecting on the past year and expressing hopes for a successful comeback and album release. Following the new album release on March 20, a large-scale world tour is also planned. More details regarding the new album and tour will be released through official channels in the future.
