Going Solo Is Exactly What BTS Needs

For the past nine years, BTS_twt has made decisions by majority rule. Now, they get to advocate for their own best interests.

worldwide. Yet, it’s clear material gains and global fame haven't fulfilled their artistic souls. There's a desire to do more, to say more outside of the shadow of their own mythos. "That uncomfortable title we were given one day," SUGA raps on "Yet To Come, "we are still abashed by being called the best… I just love music."

In that regard, how long can seven individuals looking in different directions chart the same parallel course? Everyone's journey is different. In the spirit of BTS, of reaching inward and soul-searching, embarking on solo endeavors is the only way for them to move forward and still salvage what they have as a group. During their pre-taped anniversary dinner, SUGA spoke candidly about the creative burnout he's experienced.

This job as an artist, as a K-pop artist forged in the fires of the notoriously demanding idol industry, is a grueling one. The problem with "the whole idol system," RM reasoned, is that it rarely gives artists "time to mature…there’s no time left for growth." BTS can't grow as a group if its members are frozen in amber. For the past nine years, they've made decisions by majority rule; now, they get to advocate for their own best interests.

It's understandable that some fans — especially those that experienced One Direction's 2015 "hiatus" — are concerned about what this means for BTS' future as a group. But plenty of Korean acts have weathered overlapping enlistment periods and long hiatuses through solo promotions and unit projects. If anything, this means fans can expect even more content as the members branch out into various fields of music, fashion, art, and entertainment.

is the constellation of BTS’ past. They're seven stars, each dazzling in their own way, connected by some cosmic force. It guided them through life's roughest waves and illuminated the way to clearer, calmer seas, and it helped ARMY get there, too. Now, as they embark on their solo journeys, the darkness ahead has never looked more inviting.
