A few months after becoming the first BTS band member to finish his mandatory enlistment in the South Korean military, Jin announced that his debut solo album, Happy, would arrive Nov. 15.

BTS tiered their enlistments, giving ample time for its members to focus on solo projects while the group was on a break. Jin released two EPs, “Happy” in 2024 and “Echo” in May of this year.

Their reunion? It's smooth like butter. The K-pop septet BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour. Members Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jung Kook and Suga made the announcement ...

Blackpink will tour in July, but no group album has come out since 2022. Its members have embarked on solo projects, most notably “ Apt ” by Rosé and Bruno Mars.
