It is quite known how the Korean entertainment industry tends to overwork their celebrities or groups

If you’ve been a follower of Kpop then you’ll know just how ghastly and tiring it has probable been for most of your fave celebs to get where they are now.

Big production companies and agents usually have prospective stars train RIGOROUSLY for six months, no breaks. These trainings include singing, dancing, acting and even dieting.

So you can imagine why the worry

Let us hope, indeed, that the BTS army gets all that they want for their fave singer: to rest.
