BTS recently dropped their 5th studio album ARIRANG. They released the album on March 20, 2026, as a part of their post military comeback. They are also going on a world tour soon. Interestingly, the album has broken multiple records and set the stage for BTS after the completion of their military tenures.
During an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, Kim said, “If the members hear that, they’ll think it’s pretty absurd. The relationship between them is very close, extremely strong.” She shared that RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook are close to each other and interested in continuing to do music as a team.
The rumours also come around the time when the members have produced successful solo music as well. From new tracks to filled stadiums, the BTS members utilised the time away from group activities to focus on their solo ventures. However, when the time came, they also reunited for their group album.
Kim opened up about Jin’s absence as one of the songwriters in their new album. She revealed, “At the time, Jin was balancing a solo tour schedule, and by the time he joined the production, the songwriting was already significantly advanced. He participated in the preparation process, such as test recordings, but it did not lead to the type of work that is ultimately included in the credits.”
While Jin could not be there during the creative processes, he did not want the release to be pushed further.
Now the group is getting ready for the ARIRANG world tour. The 2026-2027 global tour will feature more than 85 shows across 34 cities in South Korea, North America, Europe and Asia.
