BTS is currently on put a pause on all of their group activities because two members are currently serving South Korea's mandatory military enlistment.

However, every now and then, fans are gifted with a member's solo music-or in this case, the group's memoir and new music.

According to reports, the upcoming song called "The Planet" is a soundtrack from the animated movie "Bastions."

It will be the first song the group will release that features all seven members since the start of their hiatus.

While the movie is actually yet to premiere, fans can now listen to "The Planet," as it is currently available on YouTube and all music streaming platforms.

Mystery Memoir

Elsewhere in the KPOP supergroup's to-do list includes a memoir, which they have probably been planning for quite some time now, just like their newly released song.

Last week, a rumor about an unreleased A-list celebrity's memoir was circulating social media.

Fans began to speculate that the mystery book might actually be written by Taylor Swift.

Many began pointing out the coincidences surrounding the book, like the date of its release, the number of pages that adds up to 13, and so on.

However, according to reports, the memoir is not written by the "Anti-Hero" singer-it is a memoir by BTS.

The book is revealed to be titled "Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS," and it was written by the group with the help of South Korean journalist Kang Myongseok.

The English version of the book was translated by Anton Hur, in collaboration with Clare Richards and Slin Jung.

Long Wait

Fans were initially worried that BTS might be disbanding for good following the news of the hiatus, several fans cited another boy group who initially went on a hiatus before eventually disbanding, One Direction.

However, the BTS members reassured their fans that they are not going anywhere, but did not sugarcoat the fact that the hiatus might take a while.

"It's not that we're disbanding," said Suga. "We're just living apart for a while."

The hiatus is because of the mandatory enlistment imposed by the South Korean government upon able-bodied South Korean men under the age of 30.

They are required to serve for between 18 to 21 months, and with seven members, BTS might take some time in complying with the country's laws.
