Did BTS really break up?

In 2022, the seven-member band announced they were going on an indefinite break in order to pursue solo careers and fulfill compulsory military service in South Korea. Most felt that the band had decided to disband for good but the Bangtan boys reassured that they would be back as a group at a later time and for now would support each other's individual endeavours.

BTS did keep its word, as the band continues to push group content, such as the upcoming series, while still pursuing lucrative solo pursuits.
