The phrase 다음 주 is used to refer to the week following the current one.

When you are specifying the time when an action occurs, you often add the time particle 에 to the phrase, resulting in 다음 주에.

da'eum ju

The word 다음 might be related to the Korean word for 'stepmother', 다ᄉᆞᆷ어미, if it stems from the Middle Korean root *다ᄉᆞᆷ.
While 다음 주 is the standard term for 'next week', the phrase 돌아오는 주 emphasizes the week that is 'returning' or coming around.
Because Korean uses many Sino-Korean characters, the syllable 주 can represent many different words, such as 'God', 'owner', or 'state', depending on the Hanja used.
