" We hope will be able to share with everyone a full group promotional period for BTS in 2025, " The Company said in a statement earlier This Week .
Meanwhile, fans of The Group 's female equivalent, Blackpink, are hoping for similar news.
The Group 's seven-year deal with Yg Entertainment ended earlier this year; and there has been no news of them re-signing with The Company after The End of their world tour on 17 September.
