ARMYs theorized that it was teasers for an anniversary project for The Most Beautiful Moment in Life (HYYH) album series, as it will be the 10th anniversary next year. Some also thought it might be a new album released when BTS returns from mandatory military service next year. MONOCHROME could be the title of the project based on the shipping info given.
“There is going to be a 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY project [of “花樣年華 (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life – HYYH) album series].”

HYYH started on 17.04.2015 with the comeback trailer.
So, I guess we will get something this Wed., 17.04.2024.#BTS #MNCR #MNCR_Logistics https://t.co/LsjexHzktS pic.twitter.com/haAY4JrY5k

My theory
This is an album.(Tracking=tracklist) Monochrome will be the title track.we can see there are 7 thin bars, that means 7 solo songs(1 each member) will be there in the album and there are 2 thick bars, so there will be 2 group songs in the album 7+2+monochrome=10 songs pic.twitter.com/ZohN9V35Tw

Monochrome seems like a Single or a Pre-Release for their upcoming album in 2025 pic.twitter.com/Bgow5iTXqo

I also wonder why this pop up is called “Monochrome.” Is everything going to be black and white and grey? If so, why? Is “Monochrome” referencing something else that hasn’t been released or explained yet?
