Work on BTS' new album will be done in USA - at least in Korea New Jeans did end BTS.

BTS announcing world tour in March 2026 is not generating any buzz.

Expectation on it has fallen as I have predicted for years, and only some diehard Armies, maybe 10% of what it had in 2022, are waiting for their return.

I do not take any opinion from Korea about BTS. It is kind of false remorse by some Koreans who destroyed the biggest act in the world because of jealousy, envy, and whatnot. The only reason for them to do anything in Korea is for the Chinese fans, since the last BTS event had much more Chinese fans than the ew remaining Korean fans.

Min Heejin and New Jeans fatally weakened Hybe and BTS, which cannot be denied.

This year's Gallup showed BTS' sacrifice for Korea was in vain

It might have been a 'nearest run thing' but Napoleon ended his day in a tiny room in St. Helena, 2,000 miles away from a big landmass, while the Dukedom of Wellington still exists.

New Jeans beating Jungkook in 2023 is the final verdict of Koreans over BTS. Any words from them about it are just empty , 'i am sorry' type of words. Do they have any remorse about following New Jeans over BTS?

It is said their next album will be produced in USA, which means no Korean staff used. Then why didn't they cut their ties with Korea?

The truth is harsh. BTS is no longer that relevant as far as the world is concerned. The world has moved on.

And, Korea, for which they basically threw away their best years, rewarded them by supporting New Jeans in 2023 and a better part of 2024.

At least in Korea, New Jeans successfully ended BTS. Whatever might happen to MHJ's legal case, she won.

The members are not talking, but they would have very complex thoughts about how Korea and Koreans treated them in 2022-24. Any late remorse is for nought.

Quote from yerisvelvet

I don't think there is any conspiracy here. It's just that they are a legacy act now who have their dedicated fandom. I think the high of 2020 is largely over which was there, in a big way, because of the pandemic and the fact that BTS were still new to a lot of people. This is not the case anymore. People know who BTS are. Those who have to like them will like them and those who don't won't. The discovery aspect, novelty is no longer there. I think if BTS release a really good single and have correct promotions they might get another hits.

I also think they have lost some fans who were completely sold on the OT7 idea and didn't cope well with the solo projects. Not everybody will like every member and their music output.

For years I argued against OT7 .

I had said repeatedly that they should put Seokjin and Yoongi to be in "semi permanent hiatus" and continue to tour as a 5 member act, which would have silenced Taylor Swift.

It cannot be denied now that they are more concerned about their remaining fandom than trying to conquer the world again.

Even if they release a good single, things have changed and it won't move the world like Butter.
