SEOUL—Shocking fans with a move few saw coming, K-pop star Jung Kook confirmed in an interview Friday that he was leaving BTS for Blue Man Group. “BTS has been one heck of a ride, but it’s time for me to begin my next chapter,” said the 28-year-old singer, songwriter, and dancer, who added that becoming one of the mute, bright blue performance artists who only appear in threes had been his dream ever since he was a young boy growing up in Busan. “The most important part of being an artist is evolving, and I’m so grateful I’ve finally reached the point in my career where I feel ready to put on a bald cap, slather on some blue stuff, and bang on some PVC pipes. I spent 13 years in BTS, and I barely got to catch any marshmallows in my mouth during that time. Playing giant drums that shoot paint into the air just feels right for me at the moment, and I hope fans will follow my journey by joining the Blue Man ARMY!” At press time, reports confirmed Blue Man Group had gently informed Jung Kook he would have to audition first.
