Meanwhile, some have been sharing snippets and quotes from BTS that say they will continue being a group to assure some broken-hearted fans.

On Monday, Big Hit Music announced that the seven-member group would soon fulfill their mandatory military service beginning with Jin.

Also composed of RM, Jungkook, Suga, Jimin, V, and J-Hope, the group held the "BTS Yet to Come in Busan" concert on Saturday. It promoted the South Korean city's bid for World Expo 2030.
