The announcement had fans wondering whether the upcoming album would have something to do with the line “We are Bulletproof.”
The boyband hasn’t released an album after their fifth studio album Be in 2020, though they’ve made it to top charts with singles ‘Dynamite’, ‘Butter’, ‘Permission to Dance’ and a collaboration with Coldplay ‘My Universe’.
The BTS members on Sunday wrapped their four concerts in Las Vegas. They performed their tracks at the Allegiant Stadium on April 8-9 and April 15-16. The members are scheduled to return to South Korea on Monday.
