The group’s label, BIGHIT MUSIC, confirmed the news on X on January 1st, sharing a The Naver article with the translated caption “March 20 Comeback Confirmed.” The comeback will include an album release on the 20th followed by a large-scale world tour, according to the article.
This will be the South Korean boy band’s first album since their 2022 anthology LP “Proof,” which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and topped charts around the globe. This album comes after all of the members completed their mandatory military service.
The band teased the announcement in handwritten notes from each of the members sent to official fan club members, expressing their gratitude and excitement about the upcoming year.
“In 2026, we’ll make even more good memories, so look forward to it!,” wrote member V in his note. “The year we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived,” Jimin added in his note.
While rumors have swirled about potential tour dates, nothing has been confirmed. However, more information is expected to be shared via their label soon.
