MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA
MotS: Persona was released on April 12, 2019. BigHit said this of the album: BTS talks about the joy in finding love, and reaches out to the world with the messages they want to share with their fans. The band is especially curious about the stories of each and everyone who have helped them become who they are today. (source)
