BTS is returning to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The global superstars will reunite for their first full-group U.S. late night appearance since completing military service.

The group, made up of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, will appear for an in-studio interview and performance from their new album ARIRANG, airing March 25 and March 26.

Their return coincides with the release of their fifth studio album ARIRANG, arriving March 20, followed by a livestream event titled BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG on March 21 via Netflix, which will serve as the first global performance of the new album and take place in Seoul's Gwanghwamun.

A documentary film, BTS: THE RETURN, described as "intimate documentary film chronicling the making of the band's new album," will premiere March 27 on the same platform.

The group last appeared together on the show in July 2021 during a special takeover featuring performances of their hit singles “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.”

Although several members have appeared individually since then, these March episodes mark their first joint appearance in years.

The septet’s full-length album, which includes the lead single “SWIM,” will feature production and songwriting credits from major names such as Diplo, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Mike Will Made It, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Flume, El Guincho, JPEGMAFIA, and Teezo Touchdown.

BTS’ ARIRANG arrives on March 20 and you can grab your copy at Complex.
