BTS is trying to clear up a statement they made this week and are confirming that the group is NOT going on a hiatus.
BTS caused an uproar when band members put out a video in Korean, talking about the group's future. The English subtitle translation stated they were taking a “hiatus.” Their management said the “hiatus” description was a mistranslation.
The announcement created more than confusion. HYBE, the music company that reps BTS, reportedly lost $1.7 BILLION in market value during stock trading the following day.
