According to a recent report released by the influencer marketing platform Lefty, the members of BTS generated an Earned Media Value (EMV) of $39.26 million (approximately 56 billion KRW) during the Women’s Fashion Week S/S 2026 — proving the unprecedented global influence of the world’s top K-pop superstars even after a two-year hiatus due to military service.
Meanwhile, both the media and global fans are filled with anticipation and excitement for BTS’s full-group comeback with a new album and world tour in 2026. Every update about the album’s progress makes fans more thrilled, and the members have not hesitated to drop a few spoilers each day.
In their latest interview with W кσяєα, the trio RM, j-hope, and V playfully spoiled some of the plans the group has been working on in preparation for their new album. The short interview took place as part of the 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign Charity Event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul on the afternoon of October 15.
This is an event that RM and j-hope have attended annually in recent years — representing BTS. This year, the addition of V made the atmosphere even livelier. RM exuded refined charm in a gray suit and sunglαѕѕes, while j-hope and V wore similar outerwear in different designs and colors. Despite the variations, the trio radiated a royal-like aura, resembling princes at the center of the spotlight.
Returning to the interview, the trio were asked by a reporter: “What are your year-end plans?” and they didn’t hesitate to answer honestly. The leader RM took the lead, saying: “We’re preparing for the album, of course,” and V chimed in, “Right.”
But that wasn’t all — since we have spolier kings like RM and V here! They continued: “Filming the jacket photos, MV, and…” and this time j-hope joined in: “Do you wanna go practice dance in a long time?” RM responded, “Dance practice, yup, we’re on it. Actually, we start tomorrow!” prompting j-hope to ask humorously, “Ah really?” to which RM firmly replied, “Yes" and added: "Anyways, please look forward to the end of March next year!".
The lighthearted interview moment with the three BTS members made fans laugh with joy, as it had been a long time since several members appeared together in an interview. Fans expressed that this was exactly what they had been waiting for — their group interviews are always lively and fun.
At the same time, fans didn’t miss the key details revealed, including that BTS has filmed jacket photos and an MV for their new album and is already preparing choreography. Along with the fact that in recent live broadcasts, members have frequently mentioned recording new songs, fans believe the album now seems to be taking shape.
On X (formerly Twitter), fans are buzzing with discussions about the topic, leaving comments such as:

In addition to the album set to be released in spring 2026, BTS is also preparing various entertainment content for fans. According to Jimin, he and Jungkook have completed filming for the travel reality show “Are You Sure?” Season 2, though they did not share a release date.
Meanwhile, RM also “teased a bit” during a live broadcast earlier this month that the group had filmed some “secret content” during their two-month songwriting camp in the U.S. Run BTS also appears to be making a comeback soon, as the leader hinted that V was the one who initiated the members to work on this entertainment project recently.
Since July this year, when all BTS members completed their military service, their impending return has greatly revitalized the atmosphere within the fandom and the K-pop industry!
