Tetris Kelly:
BTS is leaving us and we are not well. Kanye West has a jam-packed listening party full of A-list features, while Nicki Minaj takes on 50 Cent for a feature of her own. We go behind the scenes with Sars, Asake and Gunna and sit down with Dove Cameron.
It's Tuesday, December 12th. I'm Tetris and this is Billboard News. Today's show is very full so I won't waste time because this first story will be hard for me to get through.
Say it ain't so! The rest of the BTS men are heading to the military and their farewell messages are cracking us up. No, seriously, where's the tissue? BTS is officially on hiatus until 2025 and today is really hard, okay? A few days ago, RM touched ARMY in their souls with his letter which read in part “The day has come. I believe this will be a strange and new period of inspiration and learning for all of us. It's scary, but during this uncertain time is there anything else that's comforting? This is probably your love.” Okay, I can get over that. I mean, Gene hilariously commented, “You're welcome. This is your first time in the army, right?' The newest member of BTS, Jung Kook said goodbye to Weverse, and you already know I was a puddle when Jimin also said an emotional goodbye with his shaved look. These two enlisted as buddies together. V posted a note on Weverse saying, “Actually, I'm really sad that I can't make happy memories with my ARMY for now. I'll be back after 18 months healthy so take care of your ARMY and if you're looking for something to be happy every day, well done! I'm here!” BTS shared a photo of all seven members reuniting ahead of the big day. We'll miss you guys, but we'll be here when you come back in 2025.
