The extended break for BTS

It was stated that BTS’ performance at the LOTTE DUTY-FREE Family Concert would be their last schedule before they take a holiday. The extension was made to give Jungkook and the rest their much-needed rest and give them the chance to enjoy the normal life of young people like them. This will be the team’s first long break since their debut in 2013.

“The period of rest will be an opportunity for the members of BTS, who have relentlessly driven themselves towards their goal since their debut, to recharge and prepare to present themselves anew as musicians and creators,” part of the statement reads. “This will also provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their 20’s, albeit briefly.”

Special request for the fans

Since Jungkook and BTS members will be on their official break, fans were asked to respect the privacy of their favorite idols. Big Hit told fans that if they happen to see any of the members in public, to please show consideration and allow them to enjoy their free time.

In any case, Jungkook has been listed as one of the South Korean idols with the best bodies. Allkpop mentioned that the youngest member of BTS would look awesome in swimwear because of his well-built body.
