There is a rule that no idol group can avoid: the "golden age" is short. Most idols can only maintain the "peak" of their career for a few years, or even just a few months. BTS is a rare group that debuted in 2013 but is still famous as a global Kpop superstar.

However, the large number of new groups, changing au∂ιєnce's trends, interruption of military service... these things make fans worry that BTS will soon have to face this situation. Faced with the au∂ιєnce's doubts about this "scary" cycle that will come to BTS, RM gave his thoughts and answers on whether BTS can "return to the throne" after enlisting or not?

Kpop has proven its global presence in recent years, especially since BTS rose strongly with unprecedented achievements in the world. But why do some people think K-pop's popularity is declining? Experts believe that the temporary absence of the phenomenal boy band BTS is one of the biggest reasons.

Not only are they worried about the decline in Kpop's status, but BTS's absence during their 2 years of active activities also makes the public think that BTS will lose their superstar status like many other groups. Until now, no K-pop group has been able to stay out of this "scary" cycle because when they are discharged from the army, it is difficult for them to maintain their peak appeal.

Music critics say that from 2018 to 2022 is the most golden period of BTS's career. Along with that, they also raised the issue that from the end of 2022 to 2025, BTS will have to take a break of more than 2 years for all members to complete their military service. This is a long period of time, easily causing the prominent name to fade and the public to be "less enthusiastic" about them even when they return.

Facing many people's concerns, RM said that the group would not follow the laws of nature. BTS will make a difference, breaking the limits of a regular K-pop group. RM replied, "When you're famous, staying on top is very difficult but I think BTS will make it. We will come together again when we finish our m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service, and we will look for new synergies between us to enter a second chapter. But nothing lasts forever anyway.”

Obviously, nothing is forever, including their throne, but BTS accepts that and is ready for a new journey. Chapter 2 for BTS is like a journey where they find themselves as true artists and not limited to the role of global idols. Looking at the solo achievements of BTS members at the present time, even when they are performing military service, it proves that BTS is still in its golden age.

From the beginning, BTS was not within the normal rules of K-pop and neither was their success. The group has had its own calculations and plans for its career so that no time is wasted or the group's reputation is forgotten. That's why all 7 members were willing to accept military service even at the time when their careers were at their peak.

There are still many things that cannot be predicted in the future, but looking at the fact that BTS is still mentioned every day in newspapers with the title "There is no space in military era....", ARMYs firmly believe that BTS will have an explosive comeback in 2025 as the group promises:

- These articles are a must-read for #Armys, old and new. The sacrifices these young men have made must be honoured. #Namjoon is incredibly introspective and so very articulate. He’s a stellar captain for his “two ships.”

- They are working hard… so hard..
