RM has teased that BTS’ new music is “really coming out great”.
The K-pop boy band are planning to make their return in “late March” and have provided an update on their time in the studio.
RM posted to X on Tuesday (11.11.25): “Above all, the music is really coming out great!! Everyone is working hard. Look forward to it. 2026 Bulletproof Army Fighting”
In October, RM, V and J-hope headed to W Korea‘s Love Your W breast cancer charity event in Seoul, South Korea, and were quizzed on when fans can expect their long-awaited comeback.
As quoted by NME, RM said: “We have to keep preparing for the album — we’ll shoot the album photos and film the music video. Please look forward to late March.”
J-hope quipped: “It’s been a while — should we start dance practice again?”
To which, RM playfully replied: “Let’s start tomorrow.”
The promise of a March return came after all seven members of the K-pop boy band reunited in July for the first time since 2022, having completed their mandatory military service. The Butter artists were forced to put their careers on hold in 2022 as 18 months of military service is compulsory for all men in South Korea.
During a special livestream, the band revealed to their fans – known as the ARMY – that they were working on a new album, set for release in spring 2026, with a world tour to follow.
They said: “We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas.
“We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started. We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album.
“We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.”
RM also said BTS had been working “diligently” on their next full-length release.
In a message to fans on the platform Weverse, he said: “It’s already been a little over two months since I was discharged from the military.
“I’m from faraway Los Angeles. I live, work, and play with the members. It’s a really strange experience. It feels ‘Bon Voyage Pyeongchang.’ It’s weird already, right… Anyway, I feel like I’m working diligently somewhere.”
He added: “Making something ‘together’ with these friends, I’m going to commit myself to this moment. I’m going to thank you. It’s our next album.
“I’m looking for what I’ll become. Something I’ve forgotten for too long, the moments that are far away together. I hope that it will be a kind of beauty.”
