On October 5, Minister Park Bo Kyun of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) attended the National Assembly’s parliamentary inspection of the administration and announced that the issue of BTS’s military service will be decided by December of this year.

During the parliamentary audit, People Power Party member Lee Yong Ho requested Minister Park to actively review the issue of BTS’s military service. In response to this, Minister Park replied, “Member Jin’s enlistment is set to be sorted out by December, but the MCST will finalize our stance as soon as possible before then.”

Minister Park added, “We are comprehensively reviewing the issue by looking at various aspects including the points that national defense is a sacred duty, military service is a symbol of fairness, BTS has made Korea known as the vanguard of K-culture and created a huge economic ripple effect, there are equity issues between popular artists including BTS and those who practice fine arts, this will affect the group when one of the BTS members joins the army, there are [results of] public opinion analysis and opinions of men in their 20s, and so on.”

I heard before some of the members do want to serve in the military anyway so would be extremely messy if some of them go regardless and others don't

 

[seoriverse]

they waste sooo much time on this issue 😭 i swear this has been in discussion for years 😭😭
their latest solution was to make them do service AND continue working as idols at the same time and i don't live in korea so i wouldn't know much of all the details surrounding the military issue but that's just too much... they can't be seriously considering making them do both...

sigh the members said they will go, why can't the government just get the hint, leave bts alone and stop being greedy about money.

it seems to me to be fans who get elected drive some of this, but seriously.. Asked and answered should be the response to all inquiries.

 

[Nezumi]

They still talking about this?

Yeah that's my guess that it's fan as the driving force but they should really just release their stance on it and then BTS can make their own stance clear in response
