BTS announced on December 6 that they were taking a “period of rest”, spending the holiday season with their families and preparing for a “new chapter” in 2022.

However, this does not mean no news from the South Korean K-pop group – there will be updates and content posted almost daily until the end of 2021. Here are some things BTS did during their s0-called holiday.

They opened Instagram accounts

Hours after announcing their break, the seven BTS members joined Instagram. Since then, they have racked up over 20 million followers each.

Some of them have been updating their accounts with artsy shots of their daily lives, while others are making minimal use of the platform.

Fun moments have included RM taking his followers on a museum road trip across the United States, while V and J-Hope shared moments of their holiday in Hawaii. RM tested positive for Covid-19 on Christmas Day along with band mate Jin, a day after fellow BTS member Suga tested positive.

Jin went viral for his birthday song, Super Tuna

To commemorate his 29th birthday, the oldest member of BTS shared a comedic, fun pop-trot song dubbed Super Tuna on December 4.
