BTS Announces Comeback Date After Nearly 4-Year Hiatus, Military Service
BTS
We’re Baaaaack
… See Ya March 20, ARMY!!!
Published
The highly anticipated return of BTS is almost here … with the massive K-pop group officially confirming a comeback is slated for March 20.
The news was revealed in handwritten letters sent to ARMY (the group’s fandom) this week … which included emotional notes from all the members — RM, Jung Kook, V, Suga, J-Hope, Jin and Jimin.

The overall message?? The Bangtan Boys are just as eager for a return as their fans are after nearly four years away … and they hope their diehard supporters’ love is just as strong in 2026.
They officially paused activity in 2022 after dropping their “Proof” album in June, but it’s safe to say that ARMY passion didn’t go anywhere in the group’s absence — all the members saw success with their individual endeavors during the break … while also completing their mandatory military service.
Jin handled his business from December 2022 until June 2024, with J-Hope following from April 2023 until October 2024. V, Jung Kook, Jimin and RM were gone around the same time … from December 2023 until June 2025.
Suga was able to tour in support of his “D-Day” album before enlisting in September 2023 … and completed his service in June 2025 to officially wrap up the group’s military duties.
The group sparked a ton of buzz last month … when they posted several snaps on social media from rehearsals — hinting their comeback was on the horizon.
Now that the group has an official return date, fans can now count down the days until BTS’ new album is in their hands. Tour dates have not been announced just yet … but we take it that’s the next nugget of info to come.
‘Finding Prince Charming’
Contestant Jasen Kaplan Dead at 46
Published
Jasen Kaplan — a contestant on “Finding Prince Charming” and celebrity makeup artist — has died … TMZ has confirmed.
Kaplan passed away Wednesday in a New York City hospital, according to Page Six, who reports the NYPD is investigating the death of a 46-year-old man at Kaplan’s apartment building.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Kaplan’s passing marks the second major loss connected to the “Finding Prince Charming” family in less than a month.
As we reported … Chad Spodick, who made it far during the show’s only season, died by suicide on December 3. TMZ obtained dispatch audio revealing Chad hung himself in a backyard.
The two men were among 13 who appeared in the 2016 dating show, hosted by *NSYNC star Lance Bass. Kaplan was also a go-to makeup artist for Kelly Osbourne, Eva Longoria, Cyndi Lauper, Bethenny Frankel and more.
He began working with Brittny and Lisa Gastineau on their 2005 show “Gastineau Girls.”
Lisa tells TMZ … “I am heartbroken and shocked. I have had some of my favorite memories with Jasen. He was part of our family. It’s so difficult to wrap my head around this tragedy.”
Jasen was 46.
RIP
ICE SPICE
TURNS UP FOR 26 … LITERALLY!!!
Published
TMZ.com
Ice Spice turned 26 and turned up — maybe a little too much — during her birthday celebrations.
TMZ has obtained footage of the “In Ha Mood” rapper getting a much needed helping hand as she attempted to leave her party Wednesday night at PHD Rooftop Lounge in NYC on her own power, she’s first stopped by someone who urges her to head back inside and try again.
In a visibly inebriated haze, Ice takes a moment to process the instructions before eventually complying.
She reemerges while leaning on a friend but still wobbles on her way to her waiting sprinter van, nearly hitting the pavement.
Thankfully, someone walking with her group catches her just in time, and Ice makes it into her car without incident.
You only turn 26 once … looks like Ice made sure to celebrate accordingly!!
