The Bangtan Boys aka BTS will drop a continuation of the Love Yourself series. Formed by Big Hit Entertainment, the South Korean boy band took to Twitter to announce their next project titled Love Yourself: Tear. BTS has decided to release their new album on May 18 of this year.
Apart from Twitter, BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment made the details public by uploading a post on BTS' official fan website on Tuesday. The release date is clearly mentioned on the website. The upcoming album titled Love Yourself: Tear is a sequel to Love Yourself: Her (released in September 2017) and Love Yourself: Wonder (released in April 2018).
According to Inquirer.net, the "beginning and end of love" is the hymn of the Love Yourself series. As the K-Pop lovers have experienced the fluttering sensation of a new love in the previous works of BTS, the upcoming one will mainly try to express the pain of falling apart.
