K-Pop sensation BTS will return with a new album on March 20, followed by a world tour, the boy band's agency said on Thursday. 

The album will be the first released by the seven-member group in more than three years since the 2022 anthology album "Proof", the group's agency Big Hit Music, a unit of HYBE, said in a statement. 

BTS' activities as a group had been on hiatus as the members carried out South Korea's mandatory military service in turn.
