BTS are back. Almost four years ago, the K-pop heavyweights went on hiatus in order to fulfill their mandatory South Korean military service. Last summer, they announced that they were back to work and getting ready to release a new album<\/a> in the first half of 2026. Today, the news is official: ARIRANG, billed as BTS’ fifth studio album (though it’s more like their tenth<\/a>), is coming on March 20. It’s their first album since 2020. We don’t know much else about it just yet except it has 14 songs and that’s the cover art above.<\/p>\n

BTS will be supporting the release with an expectedly-massive world tour, which includes multi-night stands in a handful of US cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, and more. Ticket information is available here<\/a>, and you can see the full tour dates below.<\/p>\n
