BTS is finally getting the well-deserved break they need, bringing tears of joy to fans worldwide.
On Sunday, Big Hit Entertainment, BTS’s management company, announced the group’s hiatus period through a statement on Twitter.
According to the statement, RM, Jungkook, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and V will be taking an “official and extended period of rest and relaxation,” abstaining from performing.
“This break will provide BTS members, who have dedicated themselves relentlessly to their goals since their debut, an opportunity to recharge and prepare to reintroduce themselves as musicians and creators,” the statement conveyed.
“The period also allows them a taste of ordinary young adult lives, if only for a brief while,” the company added.
This move has been long-awaited and is seen as a well-deserved gesture for ARMYs everywhere. BTS has tirelessly worked for six consecutive years with minimal breaks. This is a true testament to justice being served!
The K-pop sensation debuted in 2013 and has maintained a rigorous schedule ever since.
Over these six years, they have released six full-length albums and six EPs, showcasing their dedication.
