BTS Talk New Album, Dating and If Theyā€™d Ever Embark on Solo Careers

BTS stopped by On Air With Ryan Seacrest on the heels of the release of their 7th studio album, Map Of The Soul: Persona. One of the biggest cultural phenomenons of recent years ā€” Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook ā€” dished to Ryan SeacrestĀ everything from the importance behind their album to dating and even if theyā€™d ever embark on solo careers.Ā 

ā€œItā€™s our new series after our ā€˜Love Yourselfā€™ series,ā€ spokesperson RM explained of their 7th studio album. ā€œItā€™s titled ā€˜Persona.ā€™ We got seven tracks also including ā€˜(Boy With Luv)ā€™ [feat. Halsey]. Itā€™s about finding ā€¦ whatā€™s in our soul ā€¦ [the] process of finding the map of our soul.ā€

The K-Pop group paired up with Halsey after meeting the songstress two years ago backstage at the Billboard Music Awards.Ā 

ā€œShe was a fan and we were also a fan,ā€ RM added. ā€œWe got to know her by ā€˜Closerā€™ of Chainsmokers ā€¦ so we were like fans [at first].ā€Ā 

The band added that when they recorded with Halsey, she treated them to churros for the first time.Ā 

Their collabĀ with Halsey is just one of the many chart-breaking hits theyā€™re behind, with their fans, dubbed ARMY, even more dedicated.

ā€œWe just did it naturally,ā€ RM said of how they built such a strong connection with their fanbase. ā€œBefore our debut seven years ago naturally. ... We uploaded our photos and what weā€™re listening to and what weā€™re eating and we always tried to include messages of what we really feel.ā€

Speaking of their feelings, the group hilariously dodged the question when asked if theyā€™re dating.Ā Ā 

ā€œConnection is really not good,ā€ RM joked when Sisanie asked about their dating lives. ā€œWe FaceTime each other.ā€

Theyā€™re also dedicated to remaining BTS as a whole.Ā When asked if they have any aspirations to embark on solo careers, they immediately answered ā€œNo.ā€Ā 

That said, they do enjoy some healthy space from each other from time to time.

ā€œWe have to keep a line,ā€ RM said when Ryan jokingly asked if they have each otherā€™s passwords. ā€œOf course weā€™re boys, [men], so we fight sometime.ā€Ā
