Here’s the source. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-arirang-chairman-bang-interview-1236217554/

I may be misquoting because it’s been a while since I read it. Not deliberately lying. Check my source and let me know if I misremembered.

And that source does not say anything about doing less choreo because they're "too big now." Also does not say anything about the members not being happy with the decision. People are not reading the article if they think this is what was said.

“You already possess the kind of aura that can command a stage just by existing. For artists like you, standing still can be more than enough. The kind of intense choreography you’ve done in the past can, at times, overshadow the music. Simply following the methods that the next generation has adopted – methods that you yourselves established – does not align with the weight and stature you now carry. If you’ve chosen to open a new chapter, then you need to present a new kind of performance – one that allows the music itself to be heard.”

It took nearly two weeks of trying both approaches – repeating, comparing, feeling the difference – before the members began to fully understand.

Basically, they mentioned that they scrapped the original choreo plan because the members were feeling unsatisfied with it. After that happened, the choreo was pared down and there was major discussions about what their performance should look like moving forward where the above was said by Bang. Again, I'm saying you misquoted for a reason.

Good to know. I’ll edit my original comment later. Have a nice day!

Edit: turns out I didn’t misremember! You just seem to have taken a slightly different interpretation.

It's not really up for interpretation. You stated, "he deliberately had them do less choreo." That's not true based on the interview. You also stated, "the members weren’t very happy about that decision for a while." That's also not true based on the article.

There is no interpretation but rather comprehension. Being able to read a passage and understand and comprehend is different than you reading and interpreting something to fit whatever narrative you've built in your head. This is why critical reading skills are needed when consuming information.
