"We would like to inform you that BTS is planning to take a second official extended period of rest since their first in 2019. This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities; a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. We kindly ask once again that you show consideration for their need to enjoy ordinary and free, everyday lives while solely concentrating on themselves, albeit for a short while, during their period of rest."

Big Hit Entertainment went on to state:

"They are preparing for a concert this coming March to connect and communicate with fans in-person in Seoul,' Big Hit said. 'We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the fans who continue to cheer for BTS, and they will return as their best, healthiest selves after recharging so they can return all the love from the fans. Thank you."
