  1. Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯…..

    1. I met brooker Mark for the first time at a conference in manchester i invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670

    2. Seeing Alot of success stories, he’s must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him.

  2. I remember when they announced that they were taking a break for a few months but since they said they specifically want to work on solo projects, that will probably be the end of BTS. Once the band members start their own solo careers, they usually don’t reunite again after that unless it’s a special event or something. Just look at One Direction and how initially it was supposed to be temporary. There’s no chance that they will ever reunite, especially since Harry Styles is so successful as a solo artist now.

    1. I don’t wanna break anyones bubble, but even though they said they will comeback, keep in mind there’s always a possibility they won’t or something happens

    2. They definitely won’t be coming back as a group. Can see Jimin and Jungkook with massive solo success

    3. You clearly don’t know much about kpop groups. They stay together as brothers for years. Shinee a 14 year old group is still as a group, also they are soloists. Lmao do research. 1D and west boybands are different from Asian groups. BTS are brothers not friends, also they have a leader RM who is one of the best leaders ever

    4. @Layla Scott bruhh even KARD is making a comeback this year. Kpop bands don’t split without an official accurate statement no matter how they do as solo artists.

  3. My opinion is that this is just a publicity stunt. Of course they’ll do solo stuff, and they come back to make it bigger.

    1. @P I mean, you are desperate for this narrative to be true. What are you going to do now that you can’t ship them 24/7?

    2. @MakeUp Chick Ultimately don’t care. You don’t understand how tough it is when people have feelings for others.

    3. @Adwait Adwait you say they will comeback as a group, my question to you is how long will they stay as a group? Each member has milltary service to do and, jin and yoongi’s time to go is coming closer and closer. What about each member wanting to have their own families of their own. They won’t have time for these hectic schedules. You have to put some logic into this and really think how will they stay as a group forever. Even if they comeback disbandment will be on the horizion. ive seen this happen to other groups. Only time will tell

  4. I am very proud of BTS successful careers, but this not the end of these amazing talent gentlemen from South Korea become,they accomplish for the past 9 years. Including nominated at the Grammy two times. Wishing BTS good luck on their solo activities until they meet again stronger as ever.

  5. My condolences to the millions of Chinese🇨🇳 *music fans* who lost their freedom of speech and good times amid their BTS idols are banned by the Chinese regime for stupidity reasons.

  6. I want armys to know that now that the members are releasing official solo projects we won’t let ANY solo stan to take over us and our purple house. WE ARMYS will be the ONLY ones carrying their projects and that’s it… there’s no place for solo stans. OT7 FOREVER

    1. So you are gatekeeping them from general public and casual fans…. Just because someone likes rap doesn’t mean he would like pop songs. Or maybe someone prefers r&b over korean ballads. It’s free world. SOLO projects.

    1. Such information we don’t it get from most Youtubers, I am getting in touch with her right away

    2. @Madelyn Anne Count me in,I’m placing my trades with Expert Angela Cole Carr Thanks for the information

  7. Remember when PDog tested their Loyalty back in the day and threatened to brake the Group up? RM protected his group tooth and nail regardless of the flaws that were pointed out.

    BTS aren’t 1D. Korean groups do solo projects all the time even though their still together,Relax.

    1. Stop spreading lies, Bang SI Hyuk did not threatened to disband BTS, he asked RM if he wanted to go solo or BTS , it was a hidden RM prank.

  8. Not to forget South Korea has a 2 year mandatory military service too. So there is no way the band could have been together with ages ranging from 24-29 and Jin has to go to Service first 30 is the cut off age

  9. I’m crying 😢 my eyes out. Just feels like I lost a best friend or friends. These boys have won my heart. They’re much more than a Harry Stiles, and the group. One Direction , Back Street Boys, and I forgot the name of Justin Timberlake’s group. None can compare to BTS ! I love ❤️ each and everyone of these boys, I should mean young men…LOL. 😔 Wishing them all the best for years to come.
