K-Pop Group BTS Announces New Album

K-Pop group BTS has announced that their next album will be released in next month.

Love Yourself: Answer is set to be released on August 24th and you can pre-order the album starting on July 18th.

It’s not yet known what will be featured on the new album, but they’ll be promoting the album on their Love Yourself World Tour. The tour will kick off in South Korea for two shows on August 25th and 26th. The band will then spend two months traveling around North America and Europe.

BTS shared the info with their ARMY through a post uploaded to their fan-only blog, known as a “fan caf” within the K-pop world.

Answer will reportedly complete the act’s four-part Love Yourself series, which fans have long-since discerned was inspired by a storytelling form known as in Chinese characters, or in Korean. The term refers to four narrative elements: introduction, development, turn or twist, and conclusion.

Each of the three albums and the act’s Love Yourself: Wonder video released in April, correlate to: Introduction- “Wonder,” which featured the song “Euphoria” performed by Jungkook; Development-Her, released last September; and Turn-Tear, which made history as the first No. 1 Korean album to ever top the Billboard 200.

In October, BTS revealed that 3% of all physical album sales for the Love Yourself series will be donated to UNICEF in relation to the group’s Love Myself campaign.
