BTS (BTS) has deleted all posts on its official Instagram account, further raising expectations for a full comeback on March 20.

As BTS completely emptied its official Instagram account on December 31, fans around the world are responding enthusiastically. Overseas Korean Wave media expressed the excitement of fans, who described it as "The calm before the storm."

The initialization of the SNS account seems to be a preliminary work ahead of Big Hit Music's official comeback announcement on the 1st. The agency officially announced that BTS will release a full album on March 20. The full album will be released in about three years and nine months since the anthology album "Proof," which was released in June 2022.

The comeback date was first revealed in a handwritten letter delivered by the members to Weverse Gold members for the New Year on the 31st. Handwritten letters were delivered directly to the fans' homes, and the letter said the date "2026.03.20". RM wrote, "I've been waiting more eagerly than anyone else," while Jin expressed emotion, "Thank you so much for waiting," and J-Hope expressed emotion, "What I thought finally came true!" A day later, on January 1, 2026, Hive officially announced their comeback.

The response from overseas fans is explosive. One fan said, "Their year is finally here, the kings are coming back... I'm scared, nervous and excited. IT'S FINALLY THEIR YEAR, THE KINGS ARE BACK... I'M SCARED, NERVOUS AND EXCITED) and couldn't hide his excitement. Another fan emphasized global interest, saying, "Everyone and their mothers will be waiting, including anti-dlers."

One netizen said, "It is the ultimate 'clean slate' strategy. "With the spring 2026 comeback and world tour already confirmed, this is very much the signal that a new era is about to drop."Most of the fans expressed their expectations, saying, "A big one is coming," and "I became more curious about what kind of concept I'll come back with."

Having a recharge time after being discharged from the military, BTS has been preparing musically without rushing. BTS is scheduled to embark on a large-scale world tour following the release of the new report on March 20.

As there has been no specific update so far, the deletion of Instagram is being taken as the first sign that fans will be able to start a full-fledged comeback. ARMYs are looking forward to the announcement of the tour schedule.
