Speaking specifically about BTS's group activities, HYBE Labels CEO - Lee Jae Sang said: "All members will be discharged from the military this year".
However, Mr. Lee Jae Sang - CEO of HYBE Labels (BTS's management unit) still maintained a cautious stance when he added: "When returning, the members need a lot of time to prepare."
According to Lee Jae Sang: "The company is currently taking necessary preparations and negotiating with leading music producers. But this issue also requires consideration from the members' perspective.
Usually, artists will work on an album, release that album before starting a tour. However, BTS are the artists with the top position globally and this position requires a careful assessment of the group's vision of what's next'".
HYBE Labels CFO Lee Kyung Joon also responded when asked about expected sales when BTS returns: "We are still in the process of discussing the group's promotional plan for 2026. Therefore, we do not have any predictions made at this time."
