As of now, despite the temporary pause in activities and the impending military conscription for some members, BTS is not disbanding. The group has consistently reassured their fans, known as ARMY, that they have plans for a comeback. Even during the period when some members might be undergoing mandatory conscription, they’ve expressed their desire to reunite on stage.
Adding to the reassurance, BTS recently extended their contract with HYBE, their parent company, securing their presence in the industry until 2026. This news has provided a sense of relief for ARMY worldwide, indicating that BTS is actively planning for their return.
However, it’s essential to note that BTS has faced challenges regarding their future before. In 2018, the group openly discussed the difficulties they experienced during that time. Despite their immense success and unwavering ambition, the members felt overwhelmed and uncertain about their path forward. In discussions about contract renewals, they acknowledged varying opinions among the members, with some even contemplating the idea of not renewing their contracts.
Reflecting on that period, Jin and SUGA mentioned feeling pressure and fear about their future. There was a moment when disbandment was considered, and the group experienced uncertainty and stress. Fortunately, those times have passed, and BTS has moved forward together.
For ARMY, the current confirmation of BTS’s contract renewal without any disbandment rumors means they can rest assured. The group is anticipated to return and make 2025 their year, reaffirming their commitment to their fans and their music.
