BTS’ new album – everything we know about the K-pop giant’s next big music release so far
Jimin is the music project manager, Suga is designing the album cover, V will be visual director and RM the producer – but what will J-Hope, Jungkook and Jin bring to the boy group’s first self-produced album?
The cancellation of BTS’ concerts because of the Covid-19 pandemic has prompted the group to begin their next album. Since RM confirmed that they’re working on another masterpiece, the members have shared minor details on their individual live-streams.
Here’s what we know so far.
BTS will share the behind-the-scenes process
RM confirmed on April 17 that BTS are starting on their next album. Since they’ve only just begun, there’s no title or line-up of songs yet.
While everything is shrouded in mystery, it has been confirmed that BTS will share the process with fans. However, RM’s not sure how much they’ll share with the fan “Army”. He says, “The thing is, we’re not sure how much you’ll wanna watch, and the process, you know, is not beautiful.”
The album is self-produced
Jimin announced on May 1 that the group will prepare for the album by themselves. While they’ve created most of their own songs, this will be their first self-produced album.
According to The Korea Herald, Jimin shared, “As our team’s production of a new album has been assigned independently to ourselves, we named the project managers [for each category], and I was put in charge of music.”
