If you want to nab a copy early, pre-orders will begin on Thursday, January 9. That means fans can use their saved holiday cash to buy the album and make a whole new K-pop holiday for themselves.
Currently, there is no new information out about the album aside from its name and release date. A comeback trailer has yet to be released, but fans hope concept photos will be released before long.
As you can see below, the Internet is wilding out about the news as BTS is dominates social media hashtags. Twitter has most of its worldwide trends covered by BTS, so you can see what a big deal this is. After all, Map of the Soul: 7 will be the band’s next album following Map of the Soul: Persona, and the latter album helped the group make history. Upon its release, BTS became the first group since The Beatles to have three number one albums in under a year, so fans can only imagine what this upcoming album will achieve.
