In 2020, BTS got their first Number 1 Billboard song with “Savage Love”, their partnership with Jason Derulo. They followed it with “Dynamite” and “Life Goes On,” with both tracks released that same year.
In 2021, they released “Butter” and “Permission to Dance,” their collaboration with Coldplay, with both charting Number One for a week.
Despite their astronomical success, BTS will be taking a break in the near future. Jin, one of the band members, will be enlisting for his mandatory military service, which lasts around two years.
Other members of the band are planning on releasing solo albums as well. Per the CEO of HYBE, the entertainment company that manages BTS, V, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook will be releasing records in the coming year.
BTS plans to reconvene in 2025.
