>"[We've] thought for tens of thousands of times whether it would be good for us to disband or to suspend activities,” RM said Saturday during a live broadcast on the K-pop fan community platform Weverse." What has kept this team going is how much we love each other, and the love and respect we have for those watching this livestream.”
He also interviewed that doing nothing in the second half of 2025 was not his intention, although he did not offer too much details about it
The interview is in Korean, but most of the replies are also Korean too. Some of them seem to be korean male bts fans. BTS gained some male fans in Korea because of its meaningless military service, but that is way short of the number of fans it lost because of its looooooooong hiatus.
Frankly speaking, why think about it?
Given how it ended up, it would have been better to run BTS like BlackPink, half-disbanded and only reunited once in a blue moon, and let Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook roam around the world, and only reunited once a blue moon.
RM owes a lot, A LOT to Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook, who wasted their best years and are now no more than washed up ex soldiers.
Everyone knows BTS is returning in Mar 2026 now. Although Taylor Swift spent her effort against Huntr/x and will probably be not available, others will not refuse the chance to polish BTS off once for all.
Stray Kids, which showed it does not respect the ex Senior Singer (except for a member or two), will now challenge BTS in earnest. Wasting all of the 2nd half of 2025 will prove to be its point of no return.
BTS ruled the world, but it threw away its world domination to placate some Korean males who supported New Jeans instead. Now it is facing a world which has sailed past them, and a host of enemies which will want it gone.
