In a Weverse livestream on July 1, 2025, after all BTS members completed their military service, they announced the release of a new album and an upcoming global tour in spring 2026. The members then quickly embarked on a two-month music production plan in Los Angeles starting in mid-July.
These moves further deepened fans’ anticipation for the group’s return after a three-year hiatus. The moment BTS releases a full album and embarks on a world tour will mark an important step in reaffirming the K-pop superstars’ position in the global music market.
Therefore, any news related to BTS’ 2026 plans is being closely followed by the public. Just a few hours ago, кσяєαn media fueled fans’ excitement with specific information about the idols’ schedule for the coming year.
In an article by FN News, they mentioned: "BTS’ 2026 world tour is expected to last eight months, from May to December, with 65 performances and an au∂ιєnce of 4 million people. The average au∂ιєnce per show is expected to remain above 60,000. Operating profits are projected to rise to 100 billion won starting in Q2 next year, when the tour begins."
Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-yong, a researcher at Hyundai Motor Securities, stated: “BTS will hold a two-week event from the 24th of this month to the 5th of next month, screening four concert films in approximately 2,500 cinemas across 65 countries worldwide. They are expected to maintain growth through additional pop-up stores until the 2026 world tour is officially announced later this year.”
With these signals, Hyundai Motor Securities has highlighted HYBE as a leading K-content stock. They also raised the target price for HYBE to 380,000 won. Key investment points include the upcoming growth of BTS’ world tour and the company’s success in localizing Western artists.
These developments have energized the fan community, which has been buzzing since BTS leader RM’s livestream on September 10.
During the livestream, he also candidly shared that BTS and their staff have been meeting to discuss the album release and preparations for the world tour next year: "We will have the concerts. we're already having concert related meetings. Cause, next year's project will be our everything so we must prepare for it already. So we've been having meetings, preparing for the album, discussions on the styling, then our music."
However, RM also expressed the difficulties the members are facing with so much to do: "Anyways, it's getting harder by the day you know, trying to do soмєтнing. No matter how heavy the weight gets, we'll keep doing our thing without getting crushed under it. We'll contain all those concerns and thoughts into the album."
At that time, fans left many comments saying they would wait for whatever BTS does, reαѕѕuring the idols of the fandom’s everlasting love. But just like the hearts of the fans, BTS has been working hard to reunite with them as soon as possible.
Fans on social media are expressing extreme joy, along with amazement at the frequency and efficiency of the superstars’ work immediately after completing their military service:
