BTS just teased its possible comeback date? ARMYs have been discussing after the K-pop group's fandom in Korea received a special postcard that hinted at something nobody saw coming. While a first glance might seem ordinary, fans soon noticed a date written on the postcard. This comes as BTS prepares for his big comeback album and an impending world tour for spring 2026. Ever since its members, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook completed their mandatory military service by June 2025, they've been dropping hints and teasing fans about the new music they were making and the concert schedule. Though HYBE is yet to make any official announcement, it hasn't stopped ARMYs from wearing their guessing glasses.
What's on the postcard by BTS?
On December 30, ARMY in Korea holding a gold membership received a special postcard through special day-of delivery with a new logo on the front. What grabbed the attention was the date March 20, 2026 written in small below the logo. Fans started believing if this could be OT7's potential comeback date. Many posted their anticipation on social media. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "ARMY right now deciphering using new clues.... we should have more theories soon."
Fans decode the symbols
Another one decoded, "I knew it! That means offical comeback will March 20th. Tour announcement will probably be mid January around 13th-14th. Tickets sale early February or end of January. BTS IS COMING. CANT WAIT. LETS GO" An ARMY reacted, "Is this a hint for the BTS comeback?? cuz SPRING 2026 do starts March 20th and it’s a FRIDAY ( when new music usually drops!) Someone explained the 3 symbols."The backside of the postcard also had printed handwritten messages in Korean from each member, wishing ARMYs a happy new year.
