Why is BTS breaking up?
South Korean boy band BTS is going on hiatus
The group told fans during a televised dinner celebrating their anniversary they had decided to take an extended break and pursue solo projects.
Band member Jimin says the group is going through a “rough patch”.
Their whole conversation, which lasted more than an hour, was uploaded to their official YouTube channel.
In the video, Jimin explained they’re still trying to find their identity.
“I think that’s why we’re going through a rough patch right now, we’re trying to find our identity and that’s an exhausting and long process.”
During the conversation, another band member RM said that while they had achieved a great deal as BTS, the individual members needed to grow and mature as individuals.
BTS arrived on the scene in 2013.
Their biggest hits include Dynamite, Butter and the Coldplay collaboration My Universe.
