[ARTICLE] 161221 [2017 Song World ②] 'Emerging powers who are rising up' BigHit·Pledis' plans for 2017 - BTS cut
December 20, 2016◆ BigHit "Bangtan global leap…Possibility of launching rookie (group)↓"
With (headlines such as) 'The highest sales for a single album on Gaon chart ever' and 'The first Korean artists to enter Billboard 200 for 3 consecutive times', BTS, who received their first daesang at an awards ceremony in just 3 years of debut and set new records day by day domestically and internationally, will continue with global activities in 2017 as well. They are going to have a world tour (called) 'WINGS Tour' starting with Seoul first in February 2017 and then to cities in Chile, Brazil, America, etc which is expected to sell out. Like (that of their name as) self-producing-dols, the BTS members will consistently work on composing after their tour and they plan to make 2017 also a year where BTS' musicality can be proved.
With V in KBS 2TV's pre-produced drama 'Hwarang' that is airing these days and Rap Monster, Jungkook being active in various variety programs, it it likely that they'll be steadily expanding in this area.
The possibility of launching a group after BTS is low. On the 20th (December), BigHit said "We're preparing (for it) but there are no solid plans yet" and in an interview with XportsNews in November, Bang Sihyuk Producer also said "There isn't anything that's set in stone yet".
