The K-pop darlings first went on hiatus in 2022 to allow for some members of the band to complete mandatory military service, which is required by law for able-bodied men in South Korea.

BTS is finally back, and they’re bringing new music and a world tour along with them. After a long-awaited return, the global K-pop icons have officially revealed their plans for 2026 post-military discharge.

BTS has officially confirmed its comeback, revealing on a Weverse livestream on Tuesday that the K-pop powerhouse will return in spring 2026 with new music and a world tour. The group has been on hiatus for two years due to solo ventures and military service obligations.
