There are numerous kpop groups that have taken a break but when BTS wants it it is a farewell.

I know some Armys must be really tired but I really wanted to say that.

I just find that really amusing that BTS is talking about a pause and the whole internet is saying BTS is breaking up or about to break up. And I'm not talking about Armys but more about the people who don't care about BTS and just hope for their disbandment. If BTS hadn't spoken so honestly and openly, we wouldn't even know about their plans and they would have just released solos for now. But instead they are brave enough to play with open cards.

From what has been published on Twitter and the members have said, the members have made it very clear that they will be back as a group one day. And probably stronger and better than ever because now they also have time to find themselves and do some solo projects, which I think is very important. The members have repeatedly emphasized that they just need a break from group activities and this isn't a group disbandment.

I know it doesn't sound great at first when members say they need a break from activities as a group, but basically it's something Blackpink does all the time and other successful group like BigBang did it too. Released some solo stuff and came back as a group stronger than ever. They dominated the whole kpop scene in 2012-2015 this way.

I think it's a great idea to recognize at the right moment that you just want to try something different. Especially musicians often have this wish. Putting your own desires aside is very selfless (I think Taehyung said it? I hope I am right) but not good in the long run.

And come on, it isn't like BTS is over. The member will release some own stuff, will carry on with their show, will do a tattoo together and come back with new ideas and new strength. They only talked about not releasing new music as a group and not seeing each other ever again.

In my opinion this is the best decision a group can make.

Hiatus isn’t some death sentence ppl need to realize that

I mean bp on hiatus every year but they always comeback at the end

yeah BP is the best example that artists just need some time for themselves to come back strong than ever. I mean they are doing it the hardcore way but it doesn't change my opinion that some breaks aren't something negative.

Quote from mochicake

What's new, Kpop fans want them gone because they have been eclipsing the kpop genre since 2017.

I don't really talk about it much but the amount of threads on this site alone celebrating their hiatus is a proof pf that.

they really want it and I'm sure they were very happy but in the end it only means BTS will take a longer break than before. I mean when a group like BP exists who had their last comeback in 2020 and is still on the top, how can they expect the biggest group on the planet go down like that, lol.

Seriously the way most people are celebrating

maybe someone should explain to you that breaking up and taking a break are two different things.

Quote from quarkie

There was literally a comment on this site today that EXO is disbanded despite literally being on the same hiatus with a focus on solo work.

This is not something unique.

in BTS case it seems to mean never coming back lol

Quote from ohpuhlease

They are focusing on their solo music now but will still do some group projects(non musical) tgt.... they just wanted to convey their sincere feelings regarding the group musical input/output for the fans. i really appreciate hearing it from them instead of the company putting out a statement or the fans finding it from guessing games. idk if any kpop groups have come forward to talk about taking a break from musical activities as a group but this is one of the most genuine and heartfelt way to let their fans know about their decisions.

that is a blessing. I love how they communicate with their fans. BTS really are role models. Plus like you said they just FOCUS on their solo music for now but will still do some groups projects. Damn, some people pretend like they disbanded today.

Quote from tetetete

they were so genuine today that i dont really care what others say

they said everything they had to say and clarified all doubts

especially namjoon ensured that he said the tough bits too

i really appreciate them

i have never seen artists like them before

they were very honest today. I'm sure that even when they had great times, there were some tough and hard times too. I knew idols always look like they have the perfect life but they all have their struggles like us too. I hope they find some things which makes them happy to come back stronger than ever.

THE HUNGER GAMES. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
