RM Reveals Timing of BTS’s Long-Awaited Comeback: “We Have to Keep Preparing”

At W Korea’s Love Your W event in Seoul on October 15, 2025, RM offered a concrete update on BTS’s group plans — indicating the band is actively preparing for a full comeback and asking fans to anticipate activity around late March.

Speaking with the magazine’s social team, RM said the group is in the midst of preparations for a new album, including photo shoots and a music video, and invited fans to look forward to a return toward the end of March. The remark is the clearest on‑the‑record timeframe the members have given to date.

When j‑hope jokingly suggested they restart dance rehearsals, RM laughed and replied that they should “begin tomorrow,” while V playfully twirled nearby, bringing the clip a lighthearted, upbeat tone.

All seven members completed their required military service earlier this year, and during a July Weverse Live the group announced plans to resume collective activities in the first half of 2026. Management had previously hinted at March as a target window; RM’s comments mark the first time a member has publicly referenced a specific month.

In terms of recent releases, BTS’s most recent full‑length group record remains Proof (June 2022). Since then the band issued the anniversary single “Take Two” in 2023 and, this past July, released their first live concert album, PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LIVE, which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 10.

Below is a clip from W Korea’s event in which RM discusses the group’s upcoming plans.
