[SBS Star] BTS Members to Take Their Official Time Off

The members of K-pop boy group BTS will be taking some time off for their extended vacation.

On December 6, BTS' management agency BIGHIT MUSIC released an official statement announcing that the members will be taking a long vacation to recharge.
According to the agency, the seven members of BTS will be spending the holidays with their families for the first time since their debut.

Moreover, they will prepare for their new album and the upcoming concert that is expected to take place in Seoul next March.

The vacation is the group's second official, extended break following the one in 2019.
BIGHIT MUSIC's full statement is as follows:

Hello, this is BIGHIT MUSIC.

We would like to inform you that BTS is planning to take a second official extended period of rest since their first in 2018, after they complete their official scheduled events of 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - L.A.' and the '2021 Jingle Ball Tour'.

BTS stayed active in order to engage with fans in 2020 and 2021 amidst the COVID-19 situation, and achieved dazzling results to cement themselves as top global artists.

This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities, a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy.

It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families.

We kindly ask once again that you show consideration for their need to enjoy ordinary and free, everyday lives while solely concentrating on themselves, albeit for a short while, during their period of rest.

BTS will be focusing on preparing for the concert and release of the new album that will mark the beginning of a "new chapter."

They are preparing for a concert this coming March to connect and communicate with the fans in-person in Seoul.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the fans who continue to cheer for BTS, and they will return as their best, healthiest selves after recharging so they can return all the love from the fans.

Thank you.
