BTS' world tour comes four years after the group announced on social media that they were planning to take an "extended period of rest" in December 2021.
The group has been on hiatus since 2022, which allowed all seven members to serve their mandatory military service in South Korea.
In July 2025, the K-pop stars announced that they would release a new album. BTS' record label, Big Hit Music, announced earlier this month that the group will release the new album -- their fifth studio project -- on March 20.
It will mark BTS' first group album in nearly four years, according to a press release.
The upcoming album will have 14 tracks and will be "packed with honest stories that BTS wants to share with ARMY, who have been waiting for their pm comeback as a whole group," the press release stated.
"Filled with the music that's most true to BTS, the album is their heartfelt way of saying thank you to ARMY, who have been there this whole time," they added.
Pre-orders for the upcoming album will begin Friday, Jan. 16.
