The seven-member band (RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) has just revealed the title of their long-awaited new album and a massive world tour that will span the globe through 2026 and 2027.

🎶 ARIRANG — A Comeback With Meaning

BTS’s upcoming studio album is titled ARIRANG, named after a beloved Korean folk song that symbolizes emotional depth, resilience, and cultural heritage. The project — set for release on March 20, 2026 — marks the group’s first full new music as a unit since their hiatus began due to South Korea’s mandatory military service.

The album is expected to be deeply reflective, celebrating themes of identity and connection while showcasing BTS’s growth as artists. Pre-orders are open now, and anticipation is building across the global ARMY community.
