HALLELUJAH
I had started to believe that they'd truly rest when they'd enlist.
And I wonder for how long. Would it be too much to hope for at least month?

I'm so happy for them, finally!

So they have the final 3 SY shows in october, then award season. So I take it the break will be until october, not enough time for 7 years of nonstop work, unless they don't attend the award shows.

[the3rdjester.livejournal.com]

There's this rumour, so obviously take it with a grain of salt.

"They will not attend many domestic awards.,Some say that the bulletproof boys and the big hit have already decided to attend only a few awards, which are considered to be major." OH?

So I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Thank goodness. They 100% deserve it. I have no idea how they physically function with the amount of stuff that they do. I'd be so burnt out. I tbh hope they're completely off the radar until the October concerts, more rest time for them.

2-3 months isn’t bad. I better not see any releases later on that were pre-taped during this break period.

And they better come back as actual artists next time. God forbid we get another bland pg “fan album” with songs that don’t fit their capabilities.

From your lips to God's ears.

blessings! It would be too much to hope for them to have until january but hopefully they get at least until november maybe?

[the3rdjester.livejournal.com]

They have some tour dates in October, so not likely. Hopefully they get until the end of September?

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Yassss!!! It’s about time!!! Here’s hoping they get awards season off too.

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Yessss excited for them. They 100% deserve it. I’ve struggled with burnout for the last three years or so and it sucks/is super hard to recover from. I’m glad BH told fans to leave them alone. I hope they listen.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Rest well, boys!

So I hope this means Summer Package and Bon Voyage are canceled this year and instead of filming those it’s actually given way to this extended leave. If it’s the rest of August and some of September that seems reasonable. Then they come back late September and rehearse for the last few concerts in SA and Seoul.

There is the new Weverse Docuseries that was recorded last year? So hopefully that’s all the content being released. And maybe AugustD 2? I’m assuming if it’s being released it’s stuff he prepared last year. Yoongi was seen working on beats in the new movie in his hotel room. But who knows for sure.

"This will also provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their twenties, albeit briefly"

Could this sound any grimmer?

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

"Albeit briefly" sounds like a threat lol

[dongsaengkiller.livejournal.com]

Well deserved!

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i don't listen to them but they definitely deserve that break; they work pretty much non-stop. though 2 to 3 months is nothing compared to years of working imo.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I'm excited with the possibility of Jungkook's longer hair when he shows up later! I was hoping we can be surprised but I guess with the upcoming concert i will still see the growing progress anyway, and it won't be that fun lol. I hope he won't give up halfway, i also hope he will come out with bigger bodyyyy (more muscle) i need my jeon cena!!!

Anyways my inner egoistic side feels kinda sad that I can't see them as often as before, given my bad loyalty track records. But if this means i can finally catch up with dozens of unwatched bangtan videos, i can live with it 😂

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I saw pics of his hair after the peformance, dayummmmm, the style suits him a lot, i hipe he keeps it longer!!!!!

[mandm13.livejournal.com]

Finally! I cannot even imagine how exhausted they are, and maybe even them do not fully realize it until they get this rest. I hope during holidays they also forget about Twitter and that Weverse thing

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

That’s good for them, honestly

JYP can you takes notes and do the same for Twice :((

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

good for them, i hope sasaengs leave them alone during their break

[topazera.livejournal.com]

This is the best thing BigHit has ever done. It's a shame that they literally have to be the biggest, most internationally recognized kpop group in the world to have the clout to really get a break, I wish it was commonplace for artists to have the chance to rest and recharge. If you actually care about the longevity of your talent, this is the kind of thing you need to do! Hope this lasts for a nice, long span and that fans aren't too in their faces during this.

[infj23.livejournal.com]

I am so happy for them! Well deserved! JK and Joon may actually get to celebrate their b-days without worries of schedules + everyone gets to enjoy Chuseok with their families! Watching Bring the Soul was a bit depressing but sobering.

I thought that they would drop a new album in October but maybe it gets postponed until after the new year. Then, the repackaged album could happen late spring and they'll have one final tour into the summer and fall. One can only hope they can "coast" for the rest of the year.

[apathycollusion.livejournal.com]

This whole come back system of Fall then Spring, repeat cycle is too much. I know why they do it, to not lose their footing but I feel like artists need their break in order to bring their best versions of themselves.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

is it common in k-pop to announce in an official statement that their artist is going on a break? i don't remember a western artist ever doing that. i guess this is also an attempt for bighit to get some good PR off of this

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

It is when there’s a specific reason (illness, death in the family, that sort of thing) to explain absence or lack of activities. I kind of wish they would announce long normal breaks more often because it would make it a lot easier to determine whether a group you like is in between comebacks or just plain...never coming back, lol.

[apathycollusion.livejournal.com]

Wait so does that mean they're going to comeback in October? Or is that just a rumor?

[reader17.livejournal.com]

I am so happy that they are finally getting a break. But why do I think some of them especially RM/Suga will still end up working somehow. Either writing lyrics or creating beats etc. or maybe working with someone else. Also why do I think J-Hope will also be doing something with dance. I just want them all to sleep in, rest and visit with family and friends and enjoy themselves. I am so far behind on Run episodes so I can finally get caught up with them, also I think they have a docu series coming out. I don't know why I think this but I can't imagine that they will really go off the radar for one to two months. I could be wrong and I sorta hope I am but I think they may end up still putting up pictures of them just enjoying their time. Like if they go for a walk they may take a picture of something that catches their eye, or reading a book, or a song list. I don't know why I think this but I can't see any of them not posting for a month or two (unless they are really spending time with family, friends and sleeping).

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

That's ok, my father even getting bored 5 month in his retirement, after 30 years of work

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

good for them, hopefully fans will leave them alone when they're enjoying their time off. It's bizarre to think that this is their first extended holiday after debut!

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

First time since debut?? This is insane.
Oh well. At least better late than never.

Also: JK's hair deserves a new post.

[sciencebottle.livejournal.com]

I'm still recovering from kookmageddon ok that hair basically killed me
