South Korean BTS band members must now do Mandatory Military Service
 

[Members of BTS, the K-pop supergroup,
are planning to undertake military service,
the band’s record label confirmed Monday,
with Jin, the oldest member,
aiming to start the process at the end of the month.

Military service is mandatory in South Korea,
where almost all able-bodied men are required
to serve in the army for 18 months by the time
they are 28 years old.]

That will get them,
even stronger

Will you be able to cope without new music from them for 18 months?, Arista.

Not my kind of music.


Needs Lead Guitar
up front.

I'm no BTS fan, but nobody should be forced into the Military imo.

Gays shouldn’t have to

They want to do their service

In South Korea
it makes good sense


Due to North Korea
who could march in to the south

They really creep me out tbh. Their over done plastic faces are a bit "uncanny valley", they look like disturbingly real robots or CGI.

Doesn't mean they deserve to be forced into the military.

My daughter says it just makeup to make them look as perfect as possible

Anything to stop these vile milk sops making a noise must be a good thing

I feel sorry for them being taken away from their careers (no pun intended) and asked to potentially fight when it's clearly not their trade.

not exactly taken away, they want to do this as well i think


considering they are already got the special presidential envoy status, very great relationships with former president Moon, and now too with current president Yoon as well as having official duties for that at UN General Assembly's which videos are watched by many many millions worldwide



only until 2025 anyway, till that time fans can still enjoy listening to bangers like Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance

I'd leave the country, and wouldn't care what anyone thought of me. They probably have enough money to live on a private island.

Yes some may do just that.


But North Korea
is a danger to South Korea,
you must be able to get that Gusto

Nearly every small country has compulsory national service because everyone is expected to fight to protect their country if needed

One missing won't make much difference. :hee:

and some also born into quite some wealth too


oldest member of the group Jin (Kim Seok-Jin) there has been speculations about who his family is


some think his father is a billionaire CEO from a Samsung associate company (this could be true, since what we do know is that he once told us, his father is indeed a CEO who works from a company office in Germany)

and some think his mother is a former Miss Korea - Kim Sung Hee


but he kinda keeps his personal life very much private

polar opposites are for example Jungkook, whom is born into quite a close to poor family, and the money he earns via work with this group, and solo projects (live collabs with Charlie Puth example) he uses to support his family
