Korea – BTS to serve military, back in 2025 – the members of K-pop band BTS will serve their mandatory military duties under South Korean law, their management company BigHit Music said on Monday. This effectively ends the debate on whether they should be granted exemptions because of their artistic accomplishments.

For years, BTS fans have called for the members — Park Jimin, Kim Seok-jin (Jin), Jeon Jung-kook, Kim Nam-joon (RM), Min Yoon-gi (Suga), Jung Ho-seok (J-Hope) and Kim Tae-hyung (V) — to be exempt from mandatory service for their contributions to the South Korean economy and country’s reputation.

Under South Korea’s conscription system, the country requires all able-bodied men to serve at least 18 months in the armed forces by age 28. There are exemptions available for certain athletes and performing artists, especially those working in classical and traditional music.
When the oldest BTS member Jin turned 28 in 2020, the government offered him a 2 year delay in entering the army in recognition of BTS’s efforts in “enhancing Korea’s international image.” He was one of the the first K-pop stars to be offered such a reprieve.
