K-Pop group announces online…
K-Pop legends BTS are back, with a new album and upcoming tour.
The group has broken barriers for Korean artists, contributing to an extraordinary era of success for the music industry in South Korea.
The seven-member group has been on a break while fulfilling their mandatory national service, but it appears that this phase is concluding.
During a live-stream on Weverse, marking their first broadcast since September 2022, the 30-minute session garnered over 7.3 million views in real-time and featured significant announcements.
BTS is set to begin working on a new album, with plans to establish a base in the United States. They stated:
“We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will be collaborating closely to create new music. As it will be a group album, it will incorporate each member’s thoughts and ideas. We are approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started…”
In addition, there are plans for several international tour dates: “We’re also organizing a world tour alongside the new album. We’ll be visiting fans globally, and we hope you’re as excited as we are.”
This tour will be their first in four years – interestingly, a new live album from that previous tour will be released on streaming platforms this summer.
On the solo side, j-hope will headline Lollapalooza Berlin on July 13, and the members commented, “We’re really looking forward to the performance. He’s going to do great.”
