BTS is in a period where the members are all blooming with their amazing solo activities. This year, 2 members of BTS have released solo albums and at least 1 more member is expected to release a solo album by the end of the year.
But this is not the best news. Recently, in the latest shareholder meeting, the CEO of HYBE also revealed that in the first half of 2023 there will be about 4 more BTS members releasing new solo albums.
As we all know, since June of this year, BTS has mentioned that they are entering a chapter 2 after a decade of operation with changes in the way the group operates. Instead of focusing on BTS's joint activities, the members began to explore their own musical paths and express their individual colors through solo albums.
This is considered an important turning point as well as playing an essential role in shaping the future development of BTS. In particular, the musical color of each individual will be the premise for BTS's activities to last forever.
Understanding this, ARMY has supported BTS throughout the group's projects as well as the members. The earliest after announcing the news was the release of a solo album by j-hope and also the first in BTS to make his solo debut. As a result, Jack In The Box made a strong impression on the music and media world.
Recently, we have Jin's newly released solo album The Astronaut with a ballad composed by beautiful Coldplay. From the music to the images and lyrics, it moved millions of hearts.
Not only that, but most recently, HYBE confirmed the information after the Korean media reported that RM will release his first official solo album later this month. Many hints suggest that it will be songs that are shaken by RM and Pharrell Williams, making ARMYs excited.
So in addition to RM, there are 4 other members of BTS including SUGA, Jimin, V and Jungkook who have been in the process of producing and completing their solo album. SUGA was also recently revealed to have recorded many of the songs on his solo album and even had support from former Big Hit Music producer ADORA.
Especially today, HYBE CEO Park Ji Won revealed the plan through Korean media after the shareholder meeting announcing Q3 2022 revenue. Witnessing the outstanding growth of revenue In this quarter, CEO Park Ji Won also expressed his expectation for HYBE's growth in the last quarter of the year.
In addition, he also revealed that the members will be releasing their solo albums before their mandatory military enlistment. Therefore, in the beginning of 2023 and at the latest by the end of the year, the remaining members will complete the solo album release as scheduled. Next, after everyone completes their enlistment, BTS will officially reunite in 2025.
Thus, in 2023, all members of BTS are expected to complete the release of their solo albums and have a high probability of enlisting in the army to be able to do group activities at the earliest as previously announced. The end of this year and 2023 could be a year when ARMY will be busy with solo albums of the members!
