BTS is not going on hiatus after all.
The K-Pop group had announced Tuesday during their FESTA dinner — an annual celebration of the band's 2013 debut — that they would be taking a break from the boy band and would be focusing on solo projects.
But on Thursday, TMZ first reported that the band was not going on hiatus and that the initial announcement that they were was due to a translation error.
While some members of the seven-man group are working on solo projects, the band's management told TMZ that the world-famous group is not breaking up.
"To be clear, they are not on hiatus but will take time to explore some solo projects at this time and remain active in various different formats," representatives for BTS said in a statement shared with TMZ and the New York Post.
In addition to the band's extensive discography, all seven members — RM, J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, Suga, and V — have previously released solo music.
Representatives for BTS did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
