I have a lot to say but i cant put it in words coherently rn but I'll attrmpt, first of all, I was expecting this sometime this year but not immediately after their 9th anniversary, that's really foul bts , but ig it's better to announce it this way, and I'm glad it came from them and not just a company announcement or something.
Enlistment plays a big part in this decision but honestly I think regardless of it they needed this. They all seem very burnt out and lost and it physically pains me to see them like this. All the expectations, burdens, criticism, and the responsibility put on their shoulders catched up to them ig.
So I really, really understand their decision to take some time apart from the group. They said they had to sideline a lot of their personal ambitions to keep running forward as a group so I'm glad they are finally getting time for exploring their individuality more, and I look forward to their solo stuff just as much as I look forward to ot7 together again.
You can't continue working harmoniously if you have to suppress your ideas and emotions without cracking at some point so like tae said, this is an healthy step towards bts being together for a long time.
Really looking forward to their chapter 2 but also selfishly hoping it isn't too long. You got my support and love no matter what.
I'm just blabbering rn and still have a lot to say but the end point is that I support them together, I will support them solo, and they always got my back. I will keep loving them and looking forward to more greatness from all of them
