This will be the group’s first full-member comeback after a nearly four-year hiatus for mandatory military service.
The news was officially announced by their agency, BigHit Music, on January 1, 2026.
The date was subtly revealed to fans (ARMY) in advance through a handwritten letter sent to Weverse fan club members on December 30, 2025.
This marks their first group album release since their anthology album Proof in June 2022.
