BTS Confirms 2026 Comeback and World Tour After Poll Win

Global K-pop boy group BTS has once again proven their unwavering popularity, securing first place in a recent fan poll as anticipation for their return reaches a fever pitch. The group has officially confirmed that a full BTS comeback and a new world tour are scheduled for 2026, marking their grand return after all members completed their mandatory military service.

BTS Dominates K-TOPSTAR Poll Amid Comeback Buzz

In a clear display of their sustained global influence, BTS was voted number one in the 69th “Best Idol (Male)” category on the global K-pop voting site KTOPSTAR. The poll, which ran from October 27, 2025, to November 2, 2025, saw the iconic group clinch the top spot. Following behind them, the band DAY6 secured second place, while the virtual boy group PLAVE came in third.

A Testament to Enduring Fandom

The victory in the K-TOPSTAR poll is particularly significant as it comes after the members’ hiatus for solo activities and military enlistments. It underscores the powerful and patient support of their fanbase, who have eagerly awaited news of a group reunion. This overwhelming support serves as a strong foundation for what is expected to be a monumental BTS comeback.

The Road to a Full Group BTS Comeback in 2026

The journey toward the group’s return began in earnest in June 2025, when Suga became the final member to be discharged from his military service. Shortly after, in July 2025, the seven members held a Weverse live stream, where they first announced to fans that preparations for a new group album were officially underway. This announcement sparked immense excitement for their next chapter, reminiscent of the hype surrounding their past releases like “Proof”.

Members Reaffirm Plans at Jin’s Solo Concert

Further fueling the excitement, the members provided another confirmation during Jin’s recent solo concert.
