BTS has reignited comeback speculation after sending special postcards to ARMY Gold Members, featuring a new logo, handwritten messages and the date March 20, 2026.

For many fans, the details feel like a deliberate signal that the group’s long-awaited return may finally be taking shape.

After a three-year hiatus due to military service, 2026 is already expected to be significant for RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. The postcards, delivered to fans in Korea and to Gold Members through same-day delivery, have intensified belief that a specific comeback date could now be confirmed.

The front of the postcard displays an unfamiliar logo alongside the date, which fans note aligns with the March return BTS has been hinting at since all seven members completed their service. The inclusion of personal handwritten notes from each member has added emotional weight to the speculation.

RM wrote, “Finally, finally, finally, the year 2026 has arrived. I’ve waited for it more earnestly than anyone else. I’ve missed you so much. BTS is coming. BTS is coming!” Jungkook shared, “Hello ARMY, this is Jungkook. Are you healthy? I miss you. I always feel the same way and I’m always smiling like before. I look forward to being together in 2026. I wish you all the best.”

J-Hope added, “Everyone, the new year has arrived. It’s finally the year we get to spend with you. I’m really looking forward to it.” Messages from Jimin, Suga and Jin echoed similar sentiments about reunion and gratitude, while V wrote, “In 2026, we’ll move forward together with even more good memories, so please look forward to it.”

Attention has also turned to the new logo. One fan suggested the circles resemble the Hangul syllable “음”, the first sound in “음악”, meaning music, interpreting it as a hint of new material arriving on March 20.

While no official confirmation has been made, the postcards have given ARMY renewed confidence that BTS’s next chapter may be closer than expected.
