What Went Happenings?

Bit Hit’s Dropping the Health‑First Banner
“Suga is staying home, doing his own sundry self‑care,” the label wrote. “We’re putting his health front and center and are on standby to whisk him toward a quick recovery.”
All‑Star Season Out, But Not Out of the Game
After the first in‑person shows in Los Angeles (the band’s inaugural live act since the pandemic kickoff), BTS leaned into a flurry of American engagements. The company said the group will hit the pause button over the holiday break, regroup, and roll out new concerts and an album on the back of that steady momentum.
BTS: More Than Just Beet‑Shuffling
Since dropping the mic in 2013, BTS has chart‑topping ZEN and inside the hearts of global youth alike with pulsating music, killer choreography, and affective beats that feel like a social anthem.
- Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards (November)
- Best Pop Song for the mega‑hit “Butter” (summer)
- Multiple awards and awe‑inspired fan love across the world
Remember the Great 2019 Tour?
What was supposed to be the crown‑jewel global tour—around 40 concerts—was postponed and ultimately canceled. BTS embraced online performances instead, keeping the fireworks alive via the internet.
So, while Suga’s now on a healing buzz‑breeze at home, the rest of the crew are likely gearing up for the next rocking chapter. Stay tuned for updates, fans—BTS is not going anywhere for long!
