For almost four years, BTS fans have been patiently waiting for their favorite band to come back! And on March 21st, that is exactly what they are going to do on Netflix, according to Tudum.
On that day, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook will go live globally from Seoul’s historic Gwanghwamun Square. This will be their first concert in front of fans since their mandatory split by the South Korean government.
The seven of them will play songs (hopefully, Butter and Dynamite) from their previous four albums and their upcoming fifth one, Arirang, which will be released the day beforehand.
Then, on March 27th, we will be getting a documentary, BTS: The Return. The doc will focus on their reunion, working on their album, and becoming a band again after going their separate ways in the military.
Both of these specials are just what the BTS Army wanted for their return, and I am sure they are going to deliver what everyone wants!
In June 2022, BTS shocked the world when they announced that they were taking a break because they needed to fulfill their mandatory military service in South Korea.
Now, four years later, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook have all completed their service, and they are ready to serve the BTS Army with new music and a tour in the Spring of 2026.
“Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,” they continued. “Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
The seven of them reunited this morning to announce the news live on Weverse.
When I was a kid, I was shocked when I heard David Bowie and Bing Crosby sing Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy.
However, I was not as shocked when I heard that BTS’s V did a duet with the late crooner to his classic White Christmas. And even though it is startling, it works as beautifully as a white Christmas. And the animated video makes it even more of a gift! It’s like butter!
Seinfeld and Friends have been immortalized in Lego, and now BTS is joining them with a set based on their Dynamite music video.
This is excellent news for all of the BTS Army. While the boys are in the Korean military, they can play with their seven Lego figures and pretend the band is still together.
The 749-piece set includes a Disco, record store, donut shop, ice cream truck, basketball hoop, and palm trees.
So if this is something you must have, you can order it for $99 starting on March 1st.
In June, fans of BTS were sad when the band announced that they were taking a break. Today, they got even more upsetting news because they will not reunite until 2025 so that they can serve in the South Korean military.
The band’s music label wrote, “Bright Music is proud to announce today that the members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfill their military service. After the phenomenal concert to support Busan’s bid for the World Expo 2030, and as each individual embarks on solo endeavors, it’s the perfect time and the members of BTS are honored to serve.
“Since the creation of BTS over ten years ago, the band has risen to international success, broken records, and catapulted K-Pop into the global stratosphere. Bright Music has focused to the milestone moment when it would be possible to respect the needs of the country and for these healthy young men to serve with their countrymen, and that’s now. Group member Jin will initiate the process as soon as his schedule for his solo release is concluded at the end of October. He will then follow the enlistment procedure of the Korean government. Other members of the group plan to carry out their military service based on their own individual plans. Both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment.”
You have to respect them for honoring their duty and serving in the military because they could’ve defected at any time. But they didn’t. They will be back, and they will be better than ever.
