Niall Horan, one of the band members, suggested in an interview that loyal "Directioners" shouldn't lose hope for a reunion.
Fans have worried that the hiatus is reminiscent of what happened with the boy band 'NSync. They announced a hiatus in 2002, then went years before taking the stage together again. They reunited in 2013 at the MTV Video Music Awards for a medley of greatest hits.
Even Horan, who released his debut single, "This Town," last year, admitted that for now everyone in One Direction is focusing on solo projects.
"I'm doing [my music], going to be doing a bit of a tour. Harry's got his movie coming out, Harry's doing his thing," Horan said. "Louis's doing his thing and Liam's doing his thing. A year has gone so quick already. But when [a reunion] does happen, it's going to be great."
Horan did not reveal when fans can expect to see them take the stage together again.
