BTS have announced the release date for their new album.
The South Korean boy band will release Map of the Soul: Persona on 12 April, according to the group's management Big Hit Entertainment.
In 2018, BTS had a string of releases: the Korean-language Love Yourself: Tear and compilation set Love Yourself: Answer, alongside the Japanese-language Face Yourself.
Love Yourself: Tear consolidated the group's international appeal, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200, while becoming BTS's highest-charting and first number one album in the US.
The group added an extra date at London's Wembley Stadium, as part of their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour, after tickets initially sold out in just 90 minutes.
BTS will now perform at Wembley on both 1 and 2 June. They will also play Paris’s Stade de France on 7 June.
The Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour kicks off on 4 May at the Rose Bowl Stadium, Los Angeles, California, and will see the group head to Chicago, Brazil and Japan.
