A few hours ago, HYBE made an official announcement about BTS's enlistment schedule. The members are ready to enlist in the army and will return soon in 2025.
ARMY has been very supportive of this and will wait for BTS to return. However, recently, the Ministry of Defense made the first move, causing ARMY and netizens to react extremely violently about their interference in BTS's enlistment.
So far, what the Ministry of Defense has done to BTS's enlistment issue has always made netizens feel uncomfortable:
So according to official information from BTS and Big Hit, Jin will be the first member to start serving in the military. Jin even gave up his application to delay his enlistment so that he could carry out military service procedures according to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense soon.
It can be said that for the country, BTS in general or Jin in particular have fulfilled the responsibility of a useful citizen. They promoted the country as well as brought pride and economic benefits to the nation. Not only that, they also serve the country as a soldier. That is something that probably few people can do.
However, it seems that the Ministry of Defense is making moves that make netizens feel that they are treating BTS too much. It was only a few hours after HYBE announced that BTS would be enlisting, but the Ministry of Defense announced that they would be planning to find a way for BTS to perform together after they join the army. join the army.
Specifically, in the news broadcast this afternoon, there is a quote: "The Ministry of National Defense plans to find ways to give BTS a chance to rehearse together even after joining the military so they can perform as seven overseas".
Even when BTS voluntarily enlisted in the military to ease the decisive pressure on the authorities, they still seem to complicate matters. Many netizens also commented that the Korean defense ministry and even the government are trying to take advantage of BTS too much.
Moreover, the Ministry of National Defense and the Korean government have made many ARMYs and netizens uncomfortable when they were the ones who dragged BTS into the issue of military service exemptions. After exaggerating the issue and BTS getting a lot of criticism about it, they said that there is no military exemption for them even though the public agrees with the military service exemption for BTS up to 60%.
In addition to what the Ministry of Defense is doing, ARMY has not been able to stay silent:
- Until this moment, do these people still refuse to leave BTS alone?
- Crazy or what?
- Please let BTS go normally
- Honestly, I feel that it is the Ministry of National Defense who are the ones who don't want to let go of this (military service) issue the most. Even when BTS announced that they would be enlisting, the military leaders still wouldn't let them go?
- They constantly release press reports that how BTS should enlist in the army to ensure social justice, how sacred the duty to the country is, but it is they who make BTS' enlistment. becomes confusing and difficult. I don't understand the minds of these people.
- Want to keep social justice but also want to get economic benefits?
- Please let the group serve like a normal soldier, they deserve good things instead of the mess you make.
- Can the Ministry of National Defense stop these stuff?
- Ministry of National Defense but doing the job of the Ministry of Finance ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ really good at directing.
- Feels like the Ministry of Defense is obsessed with BTS? Or rather, this whole government is obsessed.
- This is why they should apologize to BTS. It's these bastards that push BTS to the top of the public eye even though they've done nothing wrong.
- This is crazy, I just hope BTS enlists happily and peacefully.
- the officials are SHAKING bts really did not warn anyone and dropped the news ? I wish they would just let them do whatever they want atp
- important to note as well, if bts were to do that, the gov would take all the profits
- Uhmmmm leave my babies alone! Gaddam
- It depends, if they really understand it will be so unfair for bts then no but if u read some posts abt bts's enlistment before, the public really want the boys to join for "serving the country". So in my opinion, the negativity is gonna happen if they refuse
- Damn they really doing their best huh even tho they've just put them through to public scrutiny for years ? my boys have decided what they want and the government is gon a have to live with that
