BTS’ rep clarifies K-pop band’s claim that it’s going on hiatus to focus on solo projects

The boys of BTS are looking to pursue their individual sounds, but a group representative denied the claim that they’re going on a hiatus.

During their Festa dinner, which is held each year to celebrate their founding, the group’s members said they plan to pursue solo projects. J-Hope, Suga and Jungkook all announced they already have plans for individual releases, although they didn’t share a timeline of when they could come out.

“I think we should spend some time apart to learn how to be one again,” said J-Hope. “I hope you don’t see this as a negative thing, and see it as a healthy plan. I think BTS will become stronger that way.”
