<p>It's been over two years since the beloved K-pop group last released music. Now, a new album is on the horizon&mdash;see concept, release date, and more.</p>

<p>After <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bts-style-evolution-kpop-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTS</a> went on hiatus in mid-2022, fans across the world almost immediately felt the absence of the group's seven members.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, almost two years later, each and every member has completed their mandatory military service, and as of this summer, the group is officially back and better than ever. Over the course of the hiatus, each member also experimented with solo projects, allowing them to pursue passion projects ranging from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/bts-jin-empire-state-building-echo-album" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jin</a>'s upbeat, eclectic single "Super Tuna" to RM's moody, experimental R&amp;B album&nbsp;<em>Indigo</em>.&nbsp;</p>
