BTS Announces That They’re Taking an “Extended Period of Rest”
BTS is going on hiatus. But before you spiral, don’t worry, they’re definitely coming back (and reminder: they’ve taken periods of rest before!). Big Hit Music confirmed the news over the weekend, releasing a statement on Twitter.
“We would like to inform you that BTS is planning to take a second official extended period of rest since their first in 2019 after they complete their official scheduled events of BTS Permission to Dance Onstage L.A. and the 2021 Jingle Ball Tour,” the statement reads. “BTS stayed active in order to engage with fans in 2020 and 2021 amidst the COVID-19 situation and achieved dazzling results to cement themselves as top global artists. This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families. We kindly ask once again that you show consideration for their need to enjoy ordinary and free, everyday lives while solely concentrating on themselves, albeit for a short while, during their period of rest.”
The statement goes on to confirm that BTS will be “focusing on preparing for the concert and release of the new album that will mark the beginning of a ‘new chapter.’ They are preparing for a concert this coming March to connect and communicate with the fans in person in Seoul. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the fans who continue to cheer for BTS and they will return as their best, healthiest selves after recharging so they can return all the love from the fans.”
Wishing BTS a wonderful period of rest—TBH, they deserve it!
