BTS Signals Full Comeback with Seoul Event Ahead of New Album Release

BTS has launched a signal for their full comeback in Seoul.

On January 5, the central steps of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts near Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul were adorned with BTS-themed decorations. The steps featured the logo, release date, and team name of their upcoming fifth studio album, set to be released on March 20. The Sejong Center is one of the iconic cultural and artistic venues in Korea, making this event particularly noteworthy.

BIGHIT MUSIC, BTS's agency, stated, "BTS has grown from a team that started in Korea to one that performs on the global stage. As they make their long-awaited full comeback, we held an offline promotion in the heart of Seoul, their cultural roots." They added, "We plan to expand outdoor advertising to major cities worldwide, including New York, Tokyo, and London."

At the top of the Sejong Center steps, a sculpture of the new album's logo has captured the attention of many. This logo was first revealed in handwritten letters sent by BTS to their global fanbase, ARMY. While the meaning behind the design remains a mystery, fans are eagerly speculating and sharing information as they anticipate BTS's comeback.

BTS will release their fifth studio album on March 20, marking their first full comeback in approximately three years and nine months. The new album will feature 14 tracks, showcasing the "current BTS" through emotions and reflections accumulated over their journey. Following the album release, the seven members will embark on a large-scale world tour. Detailed information about the tour will be announced on the fan platform Weverse on the 14th.
