Sohu Entertainment News On October 17, the Korean boy group BTS suddenly published the intention of joining the army in its respective order, led by the combined Jin Shuozhen . On the 17th, BTS brokerage company BigHit Music announced: "Kim Seok-jin will apply for the cancellation of the enlistment extension at the end of this month, and will then follow the enlistment procedures of the Department of Military Affairs." "Other members will also fulfill their military service obligations in turn in accordance with their respective plans."
, born in 1992 and about to turn 30, was recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to postpone the enlistment to the military service law revised in 2020, and was postponed to the end of this year.
The current Military Service Law stipulates that those with expertise in art and sports fields stipulated by the President’s Order can be included in art and sports personnel.
However, the specialties in the fields of art and sports in the "Military Service Law" do not include "mass culture", so some people have always raised the issue of balance for mass cultural artists who promote national prestige. In response, voices have emerged in the popular music industry that BTS should be allowed to serve in place, but Congress has not made any progress.
BTS withdrew its "response to enlist until the age of 30". It is expected that Kim Seok-jin will enlist as an active service as soon as the enlistment notice comes out.
