Seoul: The global K-pop sensation, Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), has officially renewed their exclusive contract with South Korean K-pop label BigHit Music, an affiliate of the industry giant Hybe. In a joint statement, BTS pledged to “stay together in 2025 and beyond,” solidifying their commitment to the group and their enduring musical journey.
