Members Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jung Kook, and Suga made the announcement Tuesday during a livestream on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company Hybe. It was the first time all seven members had broadcast live together since September 2022.

"We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music," the band said in a statement. "Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
