Another reason they said a long time ago but I forgot the source is that they chose to release mixtape instead of solo album because they don’t want the burden of commercial success.
What that mean is mixtape is the member pet project, not main. They can have whatever songs they want without worrying whether it will be well received. It’s their creative outlet outside of BTS, but without all the seriousness/ officialness of a solo album. They only work on mixtape on their free time so it doesn’t cut in bts main time working as a group.
Like others said mixtape used to be completely free and can only be found on SoundCloud but due to fans request, they added it on several paid platform like iTunes and spotify because fans want to stream it easily together with bts other discography. However it can still be listen for free. The idea of mixtape is still the same. Suga and hobi mixtape charting is just a byproduct of fans enthusiasm and bts current popularity but the ambition was never meant for it to chart or anything.
To our consumer eyes maybe mixtape and solo album are the same but to them the process of making them might be different.
Are the mixtape songs fully written by the artist himself?
Solo album songs written by the producers and the artists may help them right?
Omg is that mean the rap line have written all THE MIXTAPES BY THEMSELVES!!!! the mixtape really better than the solo album it show us how much talented the artist are!

You're not annoying at all! It's confusing. This is my understanding from what they've told us:
Mixtapes are fully produced, written, etc by the members, and while they can request help from company employees it sounds like those employees get to choose to be involved and it's all pretty voluntary. The company staff will also assess it hold it to their usual standards but revisions fall on the artists as well. This work is done outside of the usual schedule.
So the point is it to be the free expression of the artists without the pressure but also without the full support that goes behind a full release that will have the usual promo, roll-out, physicals, etc
They also see these as a gift to fans, music that doesn't come with an expectation of purchase; their passion is music, making it and sharing it, and it separates the "BH - BTS style" and the member's personal expression
While free, they can still enter the billboard charts because of streaming numbers and itunes/them being placed on paid-music sites. (They do this because ARMY request it/WANT to pay for them) as well as MV views such as for Daechwita
BH will however gladly - and it sounds like of their own volition, Hobi was surprised there was going to be a full MV for Chicken Noodle Soup and it was such a big deal - support and pay for videos that I'm guessing they split the profit with the artist for. however, we're not aware of how that works exactly; Yoongi was able to turn Daechwita into the amazing thing we saw from what was supposedly a very simple initial idea. The vid was his concept. Did he pay to upgrade it, or did the co? Unsure. They're very very rich men now, so either is possible.
At times mix tape songs will get snapped up the company to become official releases, like Stay and Your Eyes Tell by Jungkook (he told us they were meant for his mixtape, so that's a reason for the delay/he needs new songs) were. This is good for the creating member, bc that means they'll make much much more money off those songs. Bang PD wanted Everythinggoes from Mono to be a BTS song but Namjoon said it was too personal and wanted it on his mixtape.
The Members themselves keep repeating that their focus is on BTS - the way they still only do brand sponsorships as 7 after their contract show that it's clearly a preference. Both them and BigHit could make MUCh more more money sending them out individually as well like other companies do, but they seem to have no interest in that or going solo. The solos they get on official releases appears to be their focus.
We'll see what happens in time! But yeah think of mixtapes as gifts, really, and the members sharing music just for music's sake with us.Thank you so much for your time typing this<3, now i understand the difference! I'm so excited for jungkook mixtape i really loved "Your eyes tell, Still with you, Stay and Decalcomania!" He's so talented🥺🤍!

Hello guys! I'm a new into kpop!
I have some questions that I don't understand/ have answers to them
– Why BTS make Mixtape instead of a solo artist album? What the difference? From what I understand while searching that the difference is the album can be promoted and fans pay to have it and it can enter the billboard charts and the mixtape is free and doesn't enter the billboard charts or get promoted, if what I understand is right, and none of BTS members have a solo album, why RM, Suga , Jhope Mixtapes are not free at Apple Music? I know i can found the Mixtapes in YouTube for free but that doesn't make sense, Is it for supporting their work? Does the solo album never release at YouTube? Unless someone leaked it?
– Is Bighit not releasing a solo album because she wants them to stay under the Group Name? She don't want solo named at awards/billboard charts?
– How did Suga's D-2 entered the 200 Billboard chart when it was a Mixtape?
I know i'm so annoying but I really want to know
