K-pop group BTS are set to make a full-group comeback in March 2026, following the completion of all seven members' mandatory military service, according to a report by The Korea Herald. The septet — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will reunite after Suga finishes his 18-month duty this Saturday.
HYBE, the entertainment company behind BTS through its Big Hit Music label, confirmed the timeline. “BTS’ comeback date is set for March next year,” a HYBE official told sources. The schedule aligns with earlier remarks from HYBE CEO Lee Jae-sang, who said the group would need “time for preparation and creative work” post-discharge.
The March comeback may coincide with the return of labelmate group Tomorrow X Together (TXT). “While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March,” an overseas source told The Korea Herald. “I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group TXT. It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.”
HYBE's release calendar has already been adjusted to accommodate BTS's return. According to sources, Enhypen — a boy group under HYBE subsidiary Belift Lab — originally planned a March comeback but moved it to January to avoid competing with BTS.
The March 2026 comeback will be BTS's first full-group release since their 2022 anthology album 'Proof', which preceded their military service hiatus. The timeline also accounts for Jin's solo commitments, including his 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' fan concert series running from June to August 2025.
