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 Agency HYBE Headquarter Raided Over SHOCKING Allegations Of Insider Trading
HYBE manages some of the biggest names in K-pop, including BTS, Tomorrow X Together, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, BOYNEXTDOOR, and KATSEYE. HYBE, the powerhouse agency behind global K-pop sensation BTS, is under scrutiny after authorities raided its headquarters in Seoul over shocking insider trading allegations. According to The Korea Times, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office searched HYBE's office on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation. The probe centers around a HYBE executive accused of earning illegal profits of 240 million KRW (approximately $175,000) through insider trading. Reports claim the unnamed executive bought stock in YG Plus, an affiliate of HYBE's competitor YG Entertainment, based on confidential information about HYBE's planned partnership with the company. The deal led to a surge in YG Plus' stock price, allowing the executive to allegedly make significant gains. HYBE manages some of the biggest names in K-pop, including BTS, Tomorrow X Together, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, BOYNEXTDOOR, and KATSEYE. BTS, the agency's most high-profile act, has achieved global fame with nine platinum records and sold-out stadiums worldwide. But the controversy doesn't end there. In a separate investigation, the Financial Crimes Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police is examining HYBE's chairman Bang Si Hyuk for alleged fraudulent trading dating back to 2019. Authorities allege that Bang misled investors by denying any plans for an IPO, encouraging them to sell their HYBE shares to a private equity fund (PEF) linked to him. At the time, HYBE was secretly preparing to go public. When the company eventually did file for an IPO, Bang reportedly benefitted through a 30% return-sharing deal with the PEF, a transaction not disclosed during the IPO process. The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) now deems this an act of unfair trading under South Korea's Capital Markets Act. If found guilty and the gains exceed 5 billion KRW (approximately $3.64 million), the offence could lead to life imprisonment or a minimum of five years behind bars. HYBE has responded by stating that all transactions were legally vetted, but the growing controversy is fuelling public concern. First Published:
