BTS Comeback: Clearing Up the Confusion
Published February 16, 2025
There’s been a lot of confusion lately about BTS’s comeback timeline. Some fans are worried that HYBE has delayed their return, while others are speculating about behind-the-scenes decisions. Let’s break everything down and clear up the confusion once and for all.
Short answer: No. HYBE did not delay BTS’s comeback.
Here’s what happened: During a financial call, a reporter asked HYBE’s CFO, Lee Kyung-Jun, if BTS would return in 2026. His response—“We’re discussing 2026 activities with the members”—that’s it. No dramatic postponements, no secret agendas—just a standard business response. He wasn’t asked about 2025, and even if he was, he’s the CFO, not the creative director. If Bang Si-Hyuk, the founder of Big Hit, isn’t in a position to talk about BTS’s future plans, then why would the CFO be?
The only people who can talk about BTS’s comeback plans? BTS themselves.
Reunion vs. Comeback
It’s also important to understand the difference between a reunion and a comeback.
BTS has consistently expressed excitement about reuniting in 2025 after their military service. But a reunion doesn’t automatically mean an album drop or a tour. Making great music takes time. They won’t be discharged and immediately jump into recording and promotions the next day.
Also, let’s be real—if BTS decides to take a well-deserved break before diving into work, they have every right to do so. Their mental and physical health should always come first.
BTS Makes Their Own Decisions
One common argument from certain solo fans is that BTS isn’t in control of their own career. But if you’ve followed them long enough, you know that’s not true. Here are just a few examples of how much agency they have over their work:
Even when Jin planned his hug event, Big Hit initially pushed back for safety reasons, but he still made it happen—just with adjusted logistics.

BTS Are Not Victims
Some people love to frame BTS as victims, as if they have no control over their careers. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. BTS are powerful, intelligent, and independent. They’ve overcome struggles, made their own decisions, and continue to shape their own legacy.
HYBE is a business, and businesses like making money. If BTS wanted to drop an album in June 2025, HYBE would absolutely support it. But at the end of the day, BTS calls the shots.
So next time someone claims BTS is being mistreated, just smile and walk away. True ARMYs know the truth. BTS isn’t being controlled—they’re thriving.
BTS will return when they’re ready, and when they do, it will be on their own terms. Whether it’s 2025 or 2026, we’ll be here waiting, supporting them like we always have.
So let’s relax, enjoy the journey, and trust BTS to do what they do best—create amazing music and unforgettable moments.
