What should BTS do to maintain their charm if they enlist in the army?

As the "golden egg" of HYBE, BTS's suspension of activities to perform military service can be considered a great loss for the company. To solve this problem, experts have come up with many solutions.

Is solo separation a reasonable problem?

In addition to the group's brilliant career, it is undeniable that BTS is a rare boy group with an equal level of popularity among the members. Everyone has their own strengths and musical colors. But all are multi-talented and have a strong fan base around the world.

The Movist page (Korea) gives the opinion that the Kpop "big man" should promote the solo schedule for the members, especially the youngest member, Jung Kook. The first reason given by this site is the age advantage. Jungkook is 24 years old this year. Thus, he still has 6 years of active duty before his enlistment is due.

Besides, Jungkook is considered to be the member with the most comprehensive skills in the group. The male idol born in 1997 is not only the main vocalist and dancer, but also takes on the central role of the group. Moreover, the youngest member of BTS also showed global coverage with an impressive series of achievements.

Not only Jung Kook, the other 6 members of BTS also achieved impressive achievements in solo products. According to Allkpop, the OST Yours from Jin's movie Jirisan reached the top 1 spot on Gaon Download, making him the first BTS member to top the chart with a solo song.

In addition, Yours also broke the record of reaching No. 1 in 98 countries set by Adele with Easy On Me. Accordingly, BTS' eldest brother becomes the first solo artist to hold the No. 1 position on iTunes in 99 countries in 2021.

Jimin also broke a global record on Soundcloud with his solo single Promise, reaching more than 300 million streams after only 12 months of release. Before that, "Filter" also became the most streamed solo song of a Korean male artist, surpassing BTS' ON. In addition, Jimin's solo hit also topped the best-selling list of 2020, 2021 on Amazon.

In the vocal group, Kim Tae Hyung is the member with the most solo songs. According to KBS World, V is currently the first and only Kpop idol to have 5 solo songs surpassing 100 million streams, including two soundtrack songs, Christmas Tree (Our Beloved Summer) and Sweet Night (Itaewon Class) and three Songs he composed himself performed are Singularity, Stigma and Inner Child.

In addition to music, Kim Tae Hyung is the only member of BTS who has the opportunity to thrive in acting. Not only looks, V also has a warm voice and diverse facial expressions. Previously, Korean media reported that the male idol born in 1995 was one of the most "hunted" actors in the Korean entertainment industry.

Directors and producers are willing to pay a salary of up to 445 thousand USD / episode just for him to accept the invitation to star in their work. Star News said that V's salary is higher than Kim Soo Hyun - the highest paid actor in Korea today. Thus, in addition to music, HYBE can reap a large profit if V participates in acting.

As part of the talented rapline trio, J-Hope, RM and Suga are not only idols but also participate in producing and composing many songs for the group. With the personal mixtape "Hope World" consisting of 5 self-produced songs, up to now, J-Hope has become the first and only Korean solo artist to reach 9.9 million followers.

Meanwhile, leader RM also recorded remarkable success with the second solo Mixtape titled Mono (2018). After just one day, Mono rose to the top of iTunes Album chart in 86 countries. With this achievement, leader RM's Mixtape has set a record topping iTunes album charts in the most countries, surpassing BTS's repackage album Love Yourself: Answer.

Dubbed a genius composer, not only succeeding as a solo singer, Suga is also behind a series of hits by many K-pop artists. With an individual career, the product D-2 released under the stage name August D in 2020 became the fastest album by a Korean solo artist to reach 400 million streams. Besides, Suga is the Korean male solo artist with the highest monthly listeners on this platform with 11.1 million hits.

Notably, only as of December 2020, with 137 songs recognized by the Korea Music Copyright Association as a musician and composer, Suga entered the top 10 of Billboard's music producers chart. Hot 100.

The series of impressive solo achievements shows the strong and comprehensive development of each BTS member besides being a group. Accordingly, in addition to releasing music products, many opinions believe that all 7 BTS members are capable and have a large fan base to hold a solo concert. Therefore, HYBE can reduce dependence on BTS to give individual directions during the time when the group has members enlisted.

Split into small groups or combine with artists from different groups?

A topic about the formation of BTS subgroups once caught the attention of the Pann Nate forum. Accordingly, the reason for not forming units is because BTS always focuses on group activities with 7 people. However, this can completely become a solution for HYBE to maintain BTS's activities and attraction when a member enlists in the army.

Before that, BTS had a unit of V and Jimin - two members born in 1995, who became each other's closest friends since trainee days. At that time, the subgroup Vmin released a song called Friends about the two idols' close friendship for more than a decade. This song later received support from fans, even being used as the soundtrack for Marvel's Eternals.

Many people think that the combination of BTS members with other artists is also an effective way to maintain the group's name appeal.

This not only helps them demonstrate their individual charm, but also gives them the opportunity to show off more new sides and colors. The proof is that the collaboration between Suga and Psy or Jimin and Ha Sung Woon has recently brought about obvious effects.
