New BTS album release date confirmed by group’s label Big Hit Music
BTS have revealed recently the release date for their next studio album at a concert in the
United States.
A montage of scenes from BTS music videos was shown on-screen during the South Korean
boy band’s final show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 16. The dramatic teaser
video ended with the words “We are bulletproof”, followed by a date: June 10, 2022.
According to Billboard, the pop sensation’s record label, Big Hit Music, confirmed the
pending arrival of the K-pop band’s new album on fan-engagement platform Weverse on
April 17.
It is unclear if “We are bulletproof” is the title of the project, as the phrase has been part of
BTS’ music and brand since the group’s inception.
“BTS will be back with another new album on June 10, 2022,” Big Hit Music announced.
“Details on the new album will be provided in a separate notice at a later date. We look
forward to gaining your love and support for BTS’ new album. Thank you.”
The official announcement came/had come a day after BTS wrapped their mini–Las Vegas
residency, “Permission to Dance on Stage”, which featured concerts on April 8,9, 15 and 16.
The hitmakers debuted their Permission to Dance Onstage set at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood,
California, last year.
BTS attended the 64th Grammy Awards at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena earlier this
month, where they were nominated for pop duo/group performance for their single Butter,
but lost out to Doja Cat and SZA’s Kiss Me More.
This is the second year in a row that the group have been in the running for the award. In
2021, the septet’s hit single Dynamite was beaten by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s Rain
on Me.
The group’s members took to the Grammys stage this year to deliver a smooth, jazzy
rendition of Butter, featuring a cameo from Drivers License singer Olivia Rodrigo.
