BTS is one of the most popular Kpop groups in the world and their fan following is increasing day by day. The group is currently on a hiatus to focus on their solo careers and move forward with their mandatory military enlistments. Despite being in the military, BTS is dominating the music industry and their absence has no effect on their massive fan following. Billboard recently released its global Digital Song Sales December 2023 chart and BTS has dominated the list.

BTS is ruling the Billboard charts and has captured 40 per cent space in the Top 10. Their song 'Spring Day' is currently ruling the chart at No.1 position and it came as a surprise because the song was released in 2017. 'Outro: Tear' is at second rank, 'No More Dream' at sixth and 'Louder Than Bombs' is at eighth position.

Amid the hiatus, BTS has curated several projects for the fans including the drama 'Begins Youth'. The show will focus on the friendship between seven young boys and is a fictionalised version of the BTS members.

Seo Ji Hoon will be seen as Kim Hwan (Jin), Ro Jong Hyun as Cein (Suga), Ahn Jo Ho as Hosu (J-hope), Seo Young as Dogeon (RM), Kim Yoon Woo as Haru (Jimin), Jung Woo Jin as Jooan (Kim Taehyung) and Jeon Jin Seo as Jeha (Jungkook).

BTS member Jimin released his new single 'Closer Than This' after his military enlistment. Announcing the release of 'Closer Than This', BigHit Music said in a statement, "Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC. We are excited to announce the release of BTS member Jimin’s digital single, Closer Than This. Closer Than This is a heartfelt fan song that encapsulates Jimin’s genuine feelings for ARMY. As we approach the final days of 2023, we hope that Closer Than This, with its lyrics conveying Jimin’s love and affection for his fans, will bring you hope and warmth.”

BTS will end their hiatus in 2025 and will start their group activities in the same year.
