BTS may be on hiatus, but that’s not stopping them from surprising fans with some amazing new music. All seven members of the beloved K-pop band came back together to celebrate their tenth anniversary with the highly anticipated new single “Take Two”.

According to the official statement released by their record label Big Hit Entertainment, “Take Two” conveys their appreciation toward their passionate fanbase known as the Army, “for all the love [they] shower them with and their desire to always be together with [them].”

The song’s title “Take Two” is supposed to reflect “the group entering its second chapter”, as they celebrate the tenth anniversary since their formation in 2013. Over the course of the past decade, they managed to become the best-selling artist in South Korean history and helped increase the popularity of K-pop music on a global scale.

BTS announced their temporary hiatus last year to complete their mandatory military service and focus on solo projects. “Take Two” saw all seven members reunite, even though Jin and J-Hope are both serving their mandatory military service at the time of its release. “Take Two” isn’t their first joint project since the hiatus—they also released a soundtrack “The Planet” for the South Korean animated series Bastions just last month.
