South Korea implements the conscription system for male citizens aged 2 to 28. In addition to some special circumstances, it can be said that Korean male citizens must perform compulsory military service, and the military service system is particularly strict. was once a popular Korean male star Liu Chengjun . Because was a US nationality for desertion, he was directly contradicted by all Korean people after the incident and regarded it as treason. He was eventually punished for life and was unable to enter the country. His family died and could not meet.
Such a strict Korean military service system held a debate meeting for the idol boy group BTS on October 7.
On October 7, the South Korean Congress National Defense Committee Committee met with Lee Ki-sik, Director of the Military Affairs Department, and held talks on the man group BTS BTS forced military service.
South Korean Democratic MP Xue Xun spoke for the grant of BTS mandatory service exemption. Members of the Councillor asked Lee Ki-sik: "Chairman, do you know the Beatles? Did you know there is a group called BTS that is considered to be comparable to the Beatles?"
Seok-hoon continued, "Look at the big picture. What would you choose? I think this issue needs to be thoroughly reviewed. We need to really consider what is best for South Korea. If we consider BTS' absolute influence in South Korea globally, we can see that this group's influence on South Korea has far exceeded the contribution they have made through about two years of compulsory military service. It is undeniable that the role played by BTS makes South Korea a world-famous country today. If BTS disbands, that is the biggest loss in itself. It seems that by the end of this year, the two members will have to stop their BTS activities. This means no longer what we know BTS. Will we sit down and watch when this happens?”
On the other hand, Han Ji-ho, a member of the People's Power Party, opposed the granting of BTS compulsory service exemption. Han Ji-ho quoted the lyrics of rap by BTS member SUGA during the debate and said: "This is the lyrics they wrote. 'We will go to the army ourselves at that time, so you all b** *****Who wants to sell our name for a piece of our pie, shut up."
Han Jihao then said: "Because this matter is very controversial, [BTS] even made such a song. So why discuss this topic first? They themselves said that they want to serve and delay the entire problem will create serious conflicts in our society, create social differences, allow certain groups to exercise privileges, and give more privileges to already "owners".
At the same time, the Minister of Military Affairs Lee Ki-sik was also invited to share his views on the matter. He observed: "The number of people who volunteer to serve in the military is decreasing at present. What's more, the most important part of compulsory military service is fairness and justice. In this regard, I believe this is desirable. BTS performs its mandatory duties. "
Commissioner also said during this meeting, "We plan to reduce the role of alternative services and public services due to the decrease in the number of young people who want to join the army. These characters will also be cut off in art and music. ”
However, the final conclusion has not been made yet. Will South Korea change its military service system for a boy group? It is necessary to wait for the official announcement of South Korea.
