BTS J-Hope remains ARMYs’ hope amid the group’s hiatus.
Fans were left broken after BTS bid goodbye temporarily to focus on the members’ individual projects. The supergroup clarified that, while they would take a break on group promotions, the members would offer solo albums and collaborations with other artists.
The announcement was made during their FESTA dinner, with the leader, RM, pondering how they achieved so much as BTS. As they began the second chapter in their careers, the members decided to allow themselves to grow and mature as individuals.
ARMYs understood that it would also give them time to rest after nine years of non-stop promotions, and J-Hope saved them from sadness by announcing his solo album.

“BTS will begin a new chapter in which they will carry out team activities and individual activities in parallel. This will be a time for each member to grow through diverse activities, and we anticipate that this will foster BTS into becoming a long-running team in the future. We, the label, will actively support this,” it said.
