What does BTS hiatus mean?
'BTS hiatus' became a rage on social media with many being confused as to what it means. While many thought it means that the band is breaking up, HYBE with a statement clarified that it is not the case. HYBE released a statement backpedaling on the use of the word "hiatus."

Members will be focusing more on solo projects at this time," the statement said.
