If you're questioning why there are non-BTS and non-Big Hit writers and producers listed in the album credits, this is the answer
This is from the Love Yourself: Tear press conference. We also know now, that this was one of the most difficult times for the guys, who felt their burden was increasing as they rose to super stardom globally (as well as facing private struggles we don't know about).
BH brings in external writers and producers to take some of the pressure off. All the guys have been contributing to the album creation since their debut. And they continue to contribute, but some of the work has been redistributed for the sake of their physical and mental health
Promoting an album takes up a huge amount of time. Promoting actively in 4 countries (SK, JPN, US, UK) takes even more. In regular times, they're also on tour most of the year. It's impossible to maintain their schedule and remain the only writers and producers on their albums.
The album we're getting has more input from the guys in ways that we haven't seen before (styling, cover art design, etc). But don't throw a fit if there are other names listed as writers and producers. If there are other names listed, it's because they guys want them to be there
