BTS members, who announced a temporary break from group activities, dismissed rumors of a 'disbandment'.
BTS mentioned the group activity break through the video 'Steamed BTS Dinner' uploaded to the official YouTube channel on the 14th, saying, "Even if we pause, relax, and rest, we are moving forward for more time in the future."
As a result, the stock price of BTS' agency Hive plummeted, and rumors about the disbandment of BTS spread all over the place, and BTS members directly expressed their position.
RM, the leader of BTS, said through the fandom platform Weverse, "When I saw the article titles, there were provocative and cross-sectional keywords such as disbandment and suspension of activities. I think I did," he said, expressing his regrets.
BTS member Jungkook also said through V Live, an internet broadcasting platform, "I turned on the live broadcast because there was a lot of fuss about disbanding, so I thought we should fix it." I did.
He went on to say, "Don't worry, BTS will be forever."
BTS fan club ARMY launched a hashtag campaign to support BTS on social media.
It was found that the hashtag for BTS cheering was mentioned more than 140,000 times in less than an hour.
