BTS is prepping for their upcoming album. They have already filmed jacket photos and are diligently working on music. While this single 'DYNAMITE' is releasing on August 21, the septet did mention in their live broadcast earlier that they weren't sure whether it would be included in their album or not. We will just have to wait and see.

The band dropped their fourth Japanese album 'Map Of The Soul: 7 - The Journey' on July 15. In February 2020, they released a full-length studio album 'Map Of The Soul: 7' which is still one of the biggest albums of the year. The group's member Suga dropped his second mixtape 'D-2' with 'Daechwita' as the title track in May.

Earlier this year, the group's members also worked on several solo collaborations including RM's collab ('Winter Flower') with Korean artist Younha on her album, Suga's collabs with Halsey ('Suga's Interlude') and IU ('Eight'), and V's OST (Sweet Night) for Korean drama Itaewon Class in March. Jungkook released his solo track 'Still With You' in June during BTS FESTA 2020.

Meanwhile, Suga is set to drop another collab with singer MAX on his album 'Colour Vision' after the latter featured on his mixtape. The septet will also be part of a reality show called 'IN THE SOOP' that is set to premiere on August 20, 2020, as they spend time in the forest surrounded by the river.
