A representative of the group's production company Hybe tells the New York Post that even if the members will work solo, they will not stop collaborating.
- To be clear;
they are not on break but will take the time to explore some solo projects right now and remain active in various formats.
It was in a video in Korean that BTS on Tuesday announced the next step in their careers.
Then it was said that they would make "a temporary break", but promised to return one day.
Band member RM said in the video that it was "time to work on their own so they could grow as people".
The announcement caused Hybe's share to fall like a rock and according to Variety, the company lost $ 1.7 billion in market value on the Korean stock exchange.
On Thursday, band member Jung Kook also went out on the streaming service V Live to assure fans that the group will continue to work together, even when they focus more on individual work.
