Hiatus meaning explained as Why Don t We cancel tour

Merriam Webster's dictionary describes Hiatus as a period when something (such as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted. Why Don’t We noted that they were officially going on a hiatus, implying that they will not play for their upcoming tour and that they are taking a break until their legal battle with their former production company is settled. However, Why Don't We will continue making music for their fans, and will likely hit the road after settling their legal disputes. More recently, the Korean boy-band BTS made headlines for their decision to take a hiatus Last month, during the Festa Dinner Party on June 14, the group said that they were planning to take a break from group activities to focus on solo work for a while. However, their label clarified that that BTS would not completely shut off from doing group activities and that solo projects were a temporary shift from focus.

What did Why Don t We say about their production company earlier

The development comes a year after they alleged in a social media post that one of their managers caused them "mental, emotional and financial abuse." The boy band noted that their managers made them "hostages in their own home" and restricted their food. They also claimed that one of their managers controlled them 24/7, verbally berated them, and led members to develop eating disorders. The band on social media had then written: "Little did we know that we would eventually become prisoners in the 'Why Don't We compound' under the supervision of one of our managers at Signature Entertainment Partners.” Their then manager David Loeffler had rejected their untrue and hurtful claims. The band’s career took off when David Loeffler and Randy Phillips worked together as the band’s managers. However, the two split up and took legal action against each other over the group's management and control of Signature and another company.
