BigHit Entertainment confirmed the new album for September 18th. It is the first work since Bangtan's new brand identity. On September 4th, group member Jimin's comeback trailer Serendipity came out. It's the most viewed comeback teaser from any K-pop group. Two days later, the concept photos of the four versions were posted on Twitter. On September 12th, BigHit released the track list.
Four hours before the album was released, BTS gave a press conference calling Love Yourself 承 'Her' a turning point in their career . After the album was released, there was a live stream on the V app in which the members celebrated their new album. On September 21st, Mnet organized a comeback show that was streamed live worldwide. The program showed the background of the album, the history of the band and each member.
