BTS performance break and Jungkook Solo

In 2022, BTS announced a temporary hiatus from performing together and posted a videoĀ onĀ their official YouTube channel. The group did not disclose as to why they were taking a break, but fans despite of being heartbroken agreed to support their decision

But now we all know thatĀ it was because of their compulsory military service. Since some of the members like Jin and J-hope have already started their service, the band did not want to perform as an incomplete group but perform once they have completed their military services.

On July 9, 2023, 'Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS was published. The book is a biography of BTS as a band. Even though they were not performing together for a while, Big Hit made sure to serve fans with this piece, in no time the book topped in the Amazon bestsellers.

Despite BTS' break from performing together, fans are thrilled to know that Jungkook, as a solo artist, will be performing live on Good Morning America.
