According to Jimin BTS, FESTA 2020 was supposed to be a moment of separation between BTS and ARMY. However, this did not happen because BTS renewed their contract together.

Apparently, June 13, 2020, which coincides with the celebration of BTS's 7th debut anniversary, became the last contract between BTS and Big Hit Entertainment. With this contract extension, Jimin and the others will continue their career with BTS for the next 7 years.

Meanwhile, BTS themselves have been known to extend their contract both as a team and with their agency, Big Hit Entertainment, since October 2018.

The decision to extend the contract has yielded sweet results, as in 2019 and 2020, BTS has become more popular and has won many awards worldwide.

"If we didn't renew the contract, maybe since BANG BANG CON The Live, we might not have interacted anymore, including me and the members," said Jimin BTS.

Initially, many people were disappointed that BTS had to disband at the peak of their career, but many agreed that it had to happen, and BTS will always be remembered for their success.

However, according to Jimin of BTS, the reason for the contract extension is not solely because of popularity. Instead, the close relationship like a family has made all BTS members agree to continue their careers together.

Jimin's statement is quite interesting, considering that despite having their own luxurious houses, all BTS members still choose to live together under one roof.

It's not surprising that even if they have to live their own lives someday, they will still support each other like their own family.

In addition, BTS also has a good support system, in this case, Big Hit Entertainment as the agency, is known to be very cooperative with the artists they handle.

Instead of being seen as employees, Big Hit Entertainment treats BTS more like work partners. Good teamwork and trust ultimately make both parties confident to continue working together.
