All five of these groups will also be making comebacks in 2020 and bring new music to their fans.
Big Hit Entertainment
It’s going to be another busy year for Big Hit as BTS will be making their long-awaited comeback this February. With their strong fan base, it can be for certain that this comeback will be nothing short of legendary.
Big Hit’s rookie boy group TXT will also be continuing their promotions as their fandom increases in Korea and overseas.

Big Hit is also in preparation to release a drama based on the story of BTS sometime later this year.
“In addition to Map of the Soul: 7, a BTS-based TV drama is scheduled for release sometime in the second half of 2020. It’s set to tell how V, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, Suga, RM and J-hope first met.”
