Seoul: K-pop megastars BTS released a new album Friday, as buzz built ahead of their open-air comeback concert in Seoul that will go ahead despite leader RM being advised to rest his injured ankle.
The Saturday gig, expected to draw around 260,000 people, will be BTS's first after a hiatus of almost four years while all seven members served compulsory military service. It comes ahead of an 82-date world tour.
On Friday BTS's management said that medical staff recommended RM, 31, wear a cast and "minimize all physical movement" for at least two weeks after hurting his ankle the day before in rehearsals.

But "the artist himself expressed a strong desire to deliver a performance of the highest quality", Big Hit Music said.
