Instead, in BTS’s ‘Chapter 2’, the members will prioritize individual activities for a while, which doesn’t mean BTS will stop group activities altogether.

BTS’s message about suspending group activities to focus on individual activities does not mean that they will completely stop group activities.
Their scope of activities will be carried out in a more diverse way, as we plan to do both group and individual activities together. This will give them the opportunity to leapfrog and grow as artists.

Plans for individual activities have been established or are currently being worked on and will be announced soon and will have a synergistic effect between individual activities and group activities.
In the case of group activities, activities for the Proof album have been fully implemented and additional group activities are in the process of being established.
In the past, BTS has had long-term breaks, and through this period of individual activities, each member will be able to have time to rest and do individual activities.
