The long-term vacation will be a time to recharge BTS members and show a new aspect as musicians and creators, Big Hit said in a statement, adding it's also time for them to enjoy daily life as ordinary young men in their own ways. "If fans encounter BTS in unexpected places, we will ask for your consideration so that the members can enjoy their entire personal time."
BTS has added Saudi Arabia to its world stadium concert tour as part of "LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF" to cover some 25 cities, including symbolic stages such as London's Wembley Stadium. After a concert at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh on October 11, the group is to wrap up the tour with concerts in Seoul.
BTS members have earnestly worked their way up to the top of the global music scene through countless practices and endless promotions. The band's international fan club, ARMY, has urged Big Hit to give them some time to take a rest.
