The BTS ARMY is buzzing with excitement about the K-pop group’s first collective musical offering after their military service. This live album features 22 tracks from their global Permission to Dance on Stage tour. On June 3, they shared promotional photos, and a distinct clock detail sparked fan theories regarding a potential BTS comeback in Spring 2026.
Does the 3:06 Detail in Permission to Dance on Stage LIVE Photos Indicate BTS’ Comeback Date?
In the concept photos, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook can be seen in a departmental store. Notably, there’s a wall clock showing the time 3:06. This clock appears both in group shots and in a solo shot of leader RM, leading fans to speculate whether this is a clue about BTS’ full-group comeback.
In a recent OT7 live, the members mentioned they aim for a Spring 2026 release for their new album, and the clock’s 3:06 timing could hint at that. Fans speculate that March 6, 2026, might be when BTS drops their next song.
Given that this date falls on a Friday, the possibility is further strengthened. In K-pop, new music is commonly released on Fridays to align with sales and streaming counts that start on that day in South Korea.
Fan Reactions to the Potential March 6, 2026 Album Release
Fans are thrilled at the thought of this speculation becoming reality. Some noted, “clocks are never random when it comes to BTS.” One user recalled a similar situation when J-Hope shared a TikTok with a time of 3:07 before releasing his solo track, Sweet Dreams, on March 7.
Many fans express nostalgia, reminiscing about the pre-military era when devoted ARMY members would dissect every detail from BTS updates. The anticipation of the group’s return seems to rekindle that joyful energy.
