Everyone was really surprised when BTS joined the military. Even though there had been discussions about a possible exemption within the government, it came as little surprise when the BTS’ agency, HYBE Labels, announced the news on October 17.
The members may still be able to continue setting the stage on fire if they so choose now that the decision has been made. Yes, you’re right. The South Korean Ministry of Defense responded to the same on October 18, according to a report on the K-pop portal Allkpop.

In response to the group’s decision to enlist, a department representative said, “If it is for public service to the nation, or for national events or performances which benefit the nation, [BTS] will be offered the chance to engage in performances and activities should they choose.
They reiterated that no special exceptions are being made for BTS in particular and stated, “This option is already available to some enlisted soldiers,” and “We are not referencing any specific events or promotions at this time.”
BTS will actually serve their time in the military according to age, BIG HIT Music recently revealed. Jin will inevitably be the first to perish, followed by the rest, as is obvious. At the end of October, the singer plans to revoke his plea for a deferral of his duty, after which a summons will be sent out within three months.
