As per Soompi, YG Entertainment briefly addressed the rumours but decided to give a cryptic response to the fans. They wrote, ''We have nothing to say. We will inform you if we have a different response to share.” It is also pertinent to note that BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment, which has a track record of not responding kindly to false rumours and speculations on social media, was yet to respond regarding the matter.
