South Korean producer Slow Rabbit, widely known among fans for producing some of BTS's hit tracks and many other K-pop artists' songs, has revealed he will sit out of the septet's upcoming comeback. Slow Rabbit, also known as Kwon Do-hyeong, is a longtime producer and lyricist at Big Hit Entertainment, now BIGHIT MUSIC of HYBE.

He said:

“Becoming the main producer of Tomorrow X Together was a huge leap forward for me, and it helped me better understand the role and responsibilities that come with it. Juggling between BTS and Tomorrow X Together was very confusing and emotionally challenging at times. All of these hardships in the past have grounded me.”

The producer further highlighted the talents of the seven-member boy group, showing his faith in their upcoming music in his absence.

“I’m sure the members and the talented producers who will be a part of their next comeback will create an incredible album. I am also looking forward to BTS’ comeback, but as for me, I will be focusing on my role as the main producer for Tomorrow X Together,” he said.
