So You Thought BTS Was Going on Break? LOL (Vulture)

After BTS announced their break to pursue solo projects, they immediately began releasing new music and other ventures. J-Hope will debut his studio album ...

Aside from the release of his OST for their new video game BTS in the Seom, Suga doesn’t appear to have music coming out anytime soon — at least, that’s the official line. The youngest was the first to release a track in the post-BTS-break world. As a former art-world person myself, I can understand his fascination with the timelessness of paintings and sculptures. Titled Jack in the Box, the album appears to play with the myth of Pandora’s box, where the only thing left was the greatest evil of all — hope. Amidst a delicious-looking display of shrimp and meat and side dishes, the boys announced that they were taking a break from making music as a group to pursue solo projects. Not to mention the fact that BTS may still have to participate in South Korea’s mandatory military service by the time they turn 30, which would keep the band apart for the foreseeable future (Jin, who turns the big 3-0 in December, would be the first member to enlist). But in the immediate aftermath of the announcement, the news of BTS’s break elicited a kind of hysteria: Hybe’s stocks tanked (this would be BTS’s management company), many observers speculated that the “hiatus” would look like One Direction’s (namely, BTS would never return as a group), and fans began to plan for their lives without constant updates from the Tannies ( some resolved to work on themselves).
