BTS' fans should worry no more! The seven-member South Korean boy band - RM, Jimin, Suga, J-Hope, Jungkook, V and Jin - was unhurt in a minor car crash in Taoyuan, Taiwan on Sunday, Dec. 9.
Over the weekend, international fans of BTS flocked to the Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium to see them in person. There, the boy band performed several tracks from the "Love Yourself" series, including their "Love Yourself: Her" EP, "Love Yourself: Tear" studio album, and "Love Yourself: Answer" compilation album.
After wrapping up the said two-day concert, BTS encountered a minor car accident in an expressway along Taoyuan, Taiwan, which involved several private and public vehicles. Thankfully, none was hurt in the accident.
"After BTS finished their concert in Taiwan and were on their way to their lodgings, the artist car had a minor collision," the boy band's management agency, Big Hit Entertainment, said in a statement obtained by Soompi. "None of the members have any injuries and they got back to their lodgings safely, so there are no issues with their schedule," the agency added.
As of press time, BTS is taking a short break before they continue hitting the road for the fourth leg of their "BTS World Tour: Love Yourself." They are also gearing up for another performance in the upcoming Mnet Asian Music Awards (2018 MAMA) on Dec. 12 in Japan and on Dec. 14 in Hong Kong.
In other related news, the boy band's "Love Yourself: Tear" studio album and art director HuskyFox was nominated for the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package, according to Entertainment Tonight. Also nominated in the category are Mitski's "Be the Cowboy," Foxhole's "Well Kept Thing," The Chairman's "The Offering," and St. Vincent's "Masseduction."
While the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package is presented to the art director of the winning album and not to the performer, fans believed it is still a huge achievement for BTS members RM, Jimin, Suga, J-Hope, Jungkook, V and Jin as they are the first K-pop group to receive the distinction.
It can be recalled that BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, debuted in 2013 with the release of their single album, "2 Cool 4 Skool." It was in 2014 when the boy band started gaining prominence with their subsequent albums, "Dark & Wild," "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Part 2," "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever" and "Wings."
