While nothing’s been confirmed, it could easily be theorized that April 2020 will be the dawn of a new era for the South Korean boy band. This comes four months after BTS went on an extended period of rest and relaxation to recharge and enjoy ordinary life before returning to the studio a little over a month after.

As fans know, BTS closed out their "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" extended stadium tour back in October. The jaunt launched in support of the group’s Love Yourself era, which comprised of previously-released 2018 albums Love Yourself: Tear and Love Yourself: Answer. The former effort topped the Billboard 200, which made BTS the first-ever Korean act to have a number-one album in the chart’s history. The group went on to double down with Answer shooting to No. 1 as well, and also in the following year when their groundbreaking LP Map of the Soul: Personatopped the chart in 2019.

Most recently, BTS opened the 2019 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball for KIIS FM at The Forum in Los Angeles on December 6 — relive the experience here. For tickets to BTS’ upcoming events, click here.
