This is according to a report by South Korean media outlet SPO TV News, which claimed that the K-pop sensations will make their comeback with a new album on July 9. The publication also pointed out that the boyband mentioned during a press conference for ‘Butter’ last month that they were planning to release a new album this summer.
However, BTS’ label Big Hit Music did not confirm nor deny the report. In a statement to Newsen, the company only said that it will “reveal our artists’ plans after they are finalised”, as translated by Soompi.

However, the boyband are also set to release their third Japanese-language compilation album ‘BTS, The Best’ next week on June 16.
Meanwhile, BTS leader RM recently shared a new solo track called ‘Bicycle’ as part of the bands annual Festa celebrations. The song is the rapper’s first solo material since the release of 2018’s ‘Mono’. The song was produced, written and arranged by the rapper alongside singer-songwriter John Eun. -NME
