BTS set for full-group comeback in March 2026: Report
BTS is expected to make a full-group comeback in March 2026, according to an exclusive report by The Korea Herald. Multiple industry insiders confirmed that all seven members of the global K-pop sensation are preparing to reunite after completing their mandatory 18-month military service. Suga, the final member currently enlisted, has been discharged today, June 21(Saturday). His return has marked the completion of service for the entire group, fuelling anticipation about their next steps. 'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a Hybe official confirmed through The Korea Herald's source. Two additional overseas sources echoed the statement, confirming that the group is working toward resuming group activities early next year. Another source revealed that BTS is expected to return in mid-March, possibly around the same time as their labelmates Tomorrow X Together (TXT). 'While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March. I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group Tomorrow X Together,' the source said. 'It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.' Meanwhile, Enhypen, another Hybe-affiliated group under Belift Lab, had reportedly planned their comeback for March but moved it to January to avoid overlapping with BTS. At a shareholder meeting earlier this year, Hybe CEO Lee Jae-sang stated, 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare.' This suggests that while planning is in motion, the group's return will not be rushed. Jin is set to begin his solo fan concert tour 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' from June 28 in Goyang, with 18 shows scheduled across Asia, the US, and Europe until August 10 . Given these commitments, a group comeback in 2025 appears unlikely. Despite mounting excitement, Big Hit Music has stated that BTS' comeback schedule has 'yet to be finalised.' However, industry watchers suggest the possibility of a pre-release single or project ahead of the full comeback.

[Exclusive] BTS to come back in March: Hybe source
Group to return with labelmate Tomorrow X Together in mid-March, according to another source Big Hit Music says comeback schedule for boy group has yet to be finalized BTS is set to make its long-awaited full-group comeback in March next year, multiple industry sources confirmed to The Korea Herald. With all seven members completing their mandatory 18-month military service by this weekend — Suga is scheduled for discharge on Saturday — speculation has been mounting among fans and the wider K-pop industry over when the group would reunite and resume full-scale activities. 'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a Hybe official confirmed through The Korea Herald's source recently. Two additional sources based overseas also said the biggest K-pop act in history is preparing to return as a full group early next year. 'While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March. I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group Tomorrow X Together,' one source told The Korea Herald. 'It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.' Another source said that Enhypen, a boy group under Belift Lab, had initially planned its comeback for March, but moved it to January to avoid overlapping with BTS' return. Belift Lab is a Hybe subsidiary under its multilabel system along with Big Hit Music, which manages BTS. Big Hit said no confirmation has been made on the group's comeback schedule. While March may seem distant, Hybe CEO Lee Jae-sang previously signaled a longer timeline during the company's shareholder meeting in March this year. He stated that the BTS members would need time for preparation and creative work after their military discharge. 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare,' Lee said. Meanwhile, Jin is scheduled to kick off his solo fan concert tour 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' starting June 28-29 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The tour will take him to nine cities, including Chiba and Osaka in Japan, Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa and Newark in the US, as well as London and Amsterdam, with 18 shows planned through Aug. 10 — making a BTS comeback this year unlikely. However, industry insiders see a possibility of a prerelease single or other project dropping before the group's official return. [단독] 방탄소년단, 내년 3월 완전체 컴백…하이브 관계자 '복귀 시점 정해져' 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS)이 내년 3월 완전체로 돌아올 전망이다. 하이브 소속사 관계자를 포함한 복수의 업계 관계자들이 최근 코리아헤럴드에 'BTS의 컴백 시점이 내년 3월로 정해졌다'고 전했다. 오는 토요일 슈가의 소집해제를 끝으로 멤버 전원이 18개월간의 군 복무를 마치게 되면서, BTS의 활동 재개 시점에 대한 기대감이 높아지고 있다. 해외에 기반을 둔 또 다른 관계자는 '정확한 날짜는 정해지지 않았지만 3월 중순이 될 가능성이 크다'며 '형제 그룹인 투모로우바이투게더(TXT)와 같은 시기에 돌아올 것으로 들었다. BTS가 먼저일 수도 있고, TXT가 먼저일 수도 있다'고 밝혔다. 또 다른 소식통에 따르면 하이브 산하 빌리프랩 소속 보이그룹 엔하이픈은 당초 내년 3월 컴백을 계획했으나, BTS와의 일정이 겹치는 것을 피하기 위해 컴백 시기를 1월로 앞당겼다. BTS가 소속된 빅히트뮤직 역시 하이브의 멀티 레이블 체제에 속해 있다. 이와 관련해 빅히트뮤직은 '컴백 일정은 확정된 바 없다'고 밝혔다. 3월이라는 시점이 아직 9개월여 남아 있는 만큼 다소 늦은 복귀처럼 느껴질 수 있지만, 하이브 이재상 대표는 지난 3월 주주총회에서 '멤버들이 전역 후 준비와 창작을 위한 시간이 필요하다'고 밝힌 바 있다. 이 대표는 '최상위급 프로듀서들과 함께 준비하고 있지만, 아티스트들도 자신을 돌아보고 정비하는 시간이 필요하다'고 전했다. 한편, 맏형 진은 오는 6월 28~29일 경기도 고양에서 솔로 팬 콘서트 투어 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour'의 포문을 연다. 이번 투어는 일본 지바·오사카, 미국 애너하임·댈러스·탬파·뉴어크, 영국 런던, 네덜란드 암스테르담 등 9개 도시에서 총 18회에 걸쳐 8월 10일까지 이어진다. 이에 따라 연내 완전체 컴백 가능성은 낮은 상황이다.

BTS Eyes March 2026 Comeback
Yara Sameh ARMY, the wait is almost over. After nearly two years of solo ventures and military obligations, K-pop titans BTS are gearing up for their highly anticipated comeback slated for March 2026. According to The Korea Herald , the septet — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will officially reunite following the completion of all seven members' mandatory 18-month military service, with Suga set to complete his duty this Saturday. HYBE, the entertainment company that houses BTS through its Big Hit Music label, operates a multi-label system that includes acts like Tomorrow X Together and Enhypen under subsidiary Belift Lab. The company went public in 2020 and currently has a market cap of approximately $9.4 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable music companies. 'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a HYBE official confirmed to sources. The timeline aligns with previous signals from HYBE CEO Lee Jae-sang, who told shareholders earlier this year that the group would need 'time for preparation and creative work' post-discharge. The March timeframe could see some serious label synergy, with sources suggesting the comeback will coincide with stablemate Tomorrow X Together's return. 'While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March,' one overseas source told The Korea Herald. 'I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group, Tomorrow X Together. It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.' The BTS effect is already reshaping HYBE's release calendar. According to sources, Enhypen — the boy group under Hybe subsidiary Belift Lab — had originally planned a March comeback but shifted to January to avoid competing with the global phenomenon's return. The March timeline would allow for the creative breathing room that HYBE brass previously indicated was necessary. 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare,' Lee said during the company's March shareholder meeting. The comeback timeline also accounts for Jin's extensive solo commitments. The eldest member kicks off his 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' fan concert series June 28-29 in Goyang, with 18 shows planned across nine cities, including stops in Japan, the U.S., London, and Amsterdam through August 10. The March 2026 comeback would mark BTS' first full-group release since their 2022 anthology album 'Proof,' which preceded their military service hiatus. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

BTS to make long-awaited full-group comeback in March 2026; working with 'top-tier producers', say HYBE insiders
After years of solo projects, military enlistments, and endless speculation, BTS are finally gearing up for their long-awaited full-group comeback. According to multiple sources, including one from BTS' agency HYBE speaking to The Korea Herald, the group is expected to return to the K-pop scene in March 2026, marking their first full-group activity since entering military service. All seven members, reunited With Suga scheduled to be discharged this Saturday, all seven BTS members, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, will have completed their mandatory 18-month military duties. Fans have been counting down to this moment, with 'OT7' trending regularly as each member completed their enlistment. While the group recently had a mini-reunion at J-Hope's Hope on the Street finale concert in Seoul, with all seven members attending the event on FESTA, an official group stage comeback has yet to take place. HYBE insider confirms BTS' comeback in March, 2026 While Big Hit Music hasn't made an official announcement about BTS's comeback date, several HYBE insiders have confirmed the group is targeting March next year. One source hinted it could align with or follow TXT's return, suggesting HYBE may coordinate major comebacks to avoid overlap. Another industry insider revealed that Enhypen moved its comeback from March to January. [EXCLUSIVE] @BTS_twt COMEBACK in March of 2026. HYBE Source Confirms!BTS is set to make its long-awaited full-group comeback in March, 2026.'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a HYBE official confirmed through The Korea Herald's source. However, industry… BTS is preparing alongside top-tier producers Though March 2026 may feel far away, HYBE CEO Lee Jae Sang has emphasised the need for preparation time. 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare,' he told shareholders earlier this year. Coming back after years apart and military service isn't just about recording an album; it's about rebuilding chemistry, shaping a message, and meeting sky-high expectations. Could there be a surprise before then? While a full album and promotions may be set for spring 2026, fans could see something drop sooner. A prerelease single or special project is 'not off the table', according to insiders. BTS has always been full of surprises — whether it's unexpected collaborations, heartfelt letters, or solo works — so ARMY remains on high alert for anything between now and March. Jin's tour is in focus for now In the meantime, fans can look forward to Jin's solo fan concert tour, 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour', which kicks off on June 28 in Goyang and travels to 9 cities across Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands. With 18 shows through August 10, Jin's tour is a welcome bridge between the group's military era and what's to come. ARMY's patience may finally pay off From tearful enlistments to emotional reunions, BTS and their fans have weathered a long, uncertain chapter. Now, with all members free from duty and early signs of comeback prep underway, it feels like BTS is slowly, steadily coming home, and if March is the month, 2026 can't come soon enough. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
