BTS will release their new album on March 20.

The K-pop group have reunited following their mandatory military service and have now confirmed when their first album since Proof was released in June 2022 will drop.

Selected members of the official BTS ARMY fan club received handwritten notes, which confirmed the date of the record's release, and media outlets in South Korea have also independently confirmed the news.

Among the messages shared online, Jin wrote: "I greeted you all as a soloist in 2023 and 2024, but I can finally greet you as part of a team again."

J-Hope declared it is "the year that we will all be together with you", while RM admitted he had been "waiting for this moment more desperately than anyone."

Jungkook added: "Please take good care of us this year as well."

In November, RM teased the group's new music is "really coming out great".

He posted on X: "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.
