In October 2018, BTS signed an early renewal contract with their agency, even before completing the contract period. Their second contract renewal will take effect in 2025 until 2032.

The K-pop sensation announced in June 2022 that they will take a break from group activities to focus on their solo endeavors, as they are set to enlist in the military in 2023.
