K-pop superstar BTS is set to release a new album this coming July 9.
In an exclusive report, SPO TV News said the seven-member boy band will be releasing a new album on the said date.
Big Hit Music, which manages BTS, has, however, not officially confirmed the report, only saying, “We reveal our artists’ plans after they are finalized.”
Following the announcement, fans have rejoiced through social media, and assumed that the album is a gift to them, or the ARMY–as the fans of BTS are called–as the release date of the album is the fandom’s birthday.
July 9 is ARMY birthday.. 😭💜 @BTS_twt
