Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. 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,” BTS said in a statement at the time. “We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album,” they added. “We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.” In October, RM suggested that the group has a definite timeline set for their return: “We have to keep preparing for the album—we’ll shoot the album photos and film the music video.
