BTS' CFO has ignited speculation about a delay in the group's full comeback following Jin's announcement of his solo tour, stating, "We do not have."

BTS fans are excitedly looking forward to an OT7 comeback, but concerns about a possible delay are growing. This concern has been heightened by a recent statement made by the CFO of their agency, HYBE Labels, according to a report from Yonhap News. Additionally, statements from HYBE shareholders and Jin's recent announcement of a solo tour spanning nine cities from June to August have intensified fans' worries about the absence of a new full-group album and world tour in 2025.

HYBE Corporation held its annual general shareholders' meeting on March 31, during which executives discussed the potential for a comeback project involving the BTS members. When asked about anticipated sales following BTS' return, Lee Kyung Joon, the Chief Financial Officer of the group's management label, offered some insights. He mentioned, "We are currently in discussions regarding the group's promotional strategies for 2026. As such, we do not have any sales forecasts available at this moment."

This announcement regarding the plans for the upcoming year suggests that a reunion of the K-pop group in 2025 may not be possible. Given that the oldest member, Jin, is occupied with his solo projects until August, the likelihood of the entire group coming together and adequately preparing for the much-anticipated comeback The decline seems to be occurring in the last quarter of this year. Jin's RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, which lasts for 18 nights, is anticipated to be quite taxing, making it unlikely that he will be available to join his fellow members for another tour immediately afterward.

HYBE's CEO, Lee Jae Sang, expressed comparable views, emphasizing the importance for the members to thoughtfully evaluate their future decisions prior to engaging in major endeavors such as a global tour or a complete album launch. He stated that the BTS members will return after fulfilling their military duties, and they will require some time to prepare. We are in discussions with top composers, but the artists must allow themselves the necessary time for reflection and readiness.

Previously, there were rumors indicating that BTS might be planning exciting activities to commemorate their 12th anniversary FESTA in 2025, which could include a world tour. These speculations intensified when the group requested fans to fill out a series of 12 questionnaires on April 10, which featured questions about their most unforgettable BTS concert experiences.
