BTS fans have theories about the album
Because little is known about BTS’ upcoming album so far, there is room for speculation about what it will entail. Following the announcement of the album’s release date, BTS fans began theorizing about the album on social media.
Some fans speculated that BTS will explore more of a hip-hop sound on the album as a way to honor the music from early in their discography.
“Now if this album is going back to their old hip hop and r&b roots…,” one fan speculated on Reddit.
“Does this mean Hip-Hop Bangtan might be returning!? The teaser seemed a bit edgy similar to their earlier albums…,” another fan wrote on Reddit.
Other fans theorized BTS’ upcoming album will honor their entire discography and history as a group, as the release date falls close to the septet’s debut date.
One Reddit user wrote, “AN ODE TO THEIR DEBUT ERA ???? and right before bts’ birthday?”
“3 days before their anniversary, comeback within a festa, and jamsil stadium being reserved from june 10th to the 15th?? comeback. festa. muster. this comeback is about to be huge…,” wrote a fan on Reddit.
