[All] BTS to make a full group comeback next March!! (HYBE official)
The group BTS is expected to return as a full group in March next year.
Multiple industry insiders, including officials from Hybe Entertainment, recently told The Korea Herald that “BTS’s comeback has been set for March next year.”
With Suga's discharge coming this coming Saturday, all members will have completed their 18-month military service, raising expectations for when BTS will resume activities.
Another overseas-based official said, “The exact date hasn’t been set yet, but it will most likely be mid-March,” and “I heard they will return around the same time as their brother group, Tomorrow x Together (TXT). It could be BTS first, or it could be TXT first.”
According to another source, boy group Enhypen, affiliated with Belift Lab under HYBE, had originally planned a comeback in March next year, but moved the comeback date up to January to avoid overlapping schedules with BTS. Big Hit Music, which BTS is affiliated with, is also part of HYBE's multi-label system.
Big Hit Music stated that they could not confirm the related schedule as of press time.
It may feel like a somewhat late return, as there are still nine months left until March, but at the shareholders' meeting in March, Hive CEO Lee Jae-sang stated, "The members need time to prepare and create after their military service."
The representative said, “We are preparing with top-level producers, but artists also need time to reflect and organize themselves.”
When I heard this news, my heart raced. I couldn't hide my excitement all day long when I heard that BTS' full comeback has finally been confirmed for March of next year. It's overwhelming news for fans who have been waiting during their military service, and the fact that they're taking their time preparing after their discharge is so BTS-like, which makes me trust them even more. Especially when I heard that HYBE is preparing with top producers, I can't even imagine how great this album will be. The coordination of schedules with other teams like TXT and Enhypen is also noticeable, and I realized once again how big of an event BTS's return is. There are still nearly 9 months left, but I think every day will be meaningful and filled with excitement.
