BTS Full Comeback in 2026: HYBE Discusses Future Plans with Members

BTS is increasingly likely to resume activities as a complete group in 2026. Recently, Lee KyungJun, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of HYBE, revealed during a performance report conference that discussions with the members regarding activities in 2026 are ongoing, in response to a question about the “2026 BTS World Tour and HYBE’s revenue proportion.”

CFO Lee stated that specific projections have not yet been formed, but it is expected that activities as a complete group will significantly impact the company’s revenue. However, he added that the growth of other artists would also occur, so it would not be as high a proportion as in the past.

HYBE announced last September that it had completed the second contract renewal with the seven BTS members, who are under BigHit Music. Currently, BTS Jin and BTS j-hope have completed their military service and been discharged, and by June next year, all members will have fulfilled their military obligations. HYBE hopes for BTS to return as a complete group in the second half of 2025.

Meanwhile, HYBE reported that its operating profit based on consolidated results for the third quarter of this year decreased by 25.4% compared to the same period last year, to 54.2 billion won. Revenue dropped by 1.9% to 527.8 billion won, and net profit plummeted by 98.6% to 1.4 billion won.

There is heightened interest in the changes that BTS’s complete group activities will bring and HYBE’s strategic response. Fans and industry experts are eagerly anticipating the day they return to the stage, and as that day approaches, more anticipation and attention are expected to be drawn.
