Rumors about BIG 3 asking the government to exempt their idols from military service have been circulating for 4 years.

One netizen debunked the rumors by exposing the truth. This article was published on April 17 and has received 111,374 views so far.

Recently, it was reported that it was the major entertainment companies that asked the Government to exempt the military service in 2018 and that HYBE and BTS were under pressure.

After it was reported that major agencies had been meeting with the ḳöŕệän Management Association, some fans took screenshots of some parts of the article and shared it on Twitter, Pann, and The Qoo , causing a sensation. It seems that major agencies have asked the government to exempt their idols from military service.

As usual, fans are constantly spreading misinformation instead of trying to read the whole news.

1. First, in July 2018, activist and politician Ha Tae Kyung said that BTS should be exempt from military service because they topped the Billboard charts.

2. Hae Tae-Kyung’s suggestion became a hot topic. The media heavily reported on the possibility of BTS being exempted from military service.

This news is posted almost every day for a month. BTS fans supported the idea and created hashtags on Twitter and sent e-mails to the Blue House.

(Edaily news) “According to entertainment industry officials on the 4th, in the middle of last month, a government official told industry representatives that they wanted to listen to the situation and position of agencies related to enlistment of famous people.

Accordingly, industry officials recently gathered to discuss the situation regarding the enlistment of popular culture artists, the timing of enlistment, and possible alternatives to the government. government”.

“Discussions were held at this meeting, such as creating an objective standard by which celebrities can also be employed as arts and sports staff and asking for postpone enlistment as much as possible to the extent permitted by law.”

As you can see, none of the companies requested a meeting. It was a government official who invited them. Also, it’s not just limited to artists from big companies, but the entire ḳöŕệän entertainment industry. In addition, it is not an exemption from enlistment but a postponement of military service.

Netizens’ comments:

1. It was collusion between Bł₲ Ⱨł₮, politicians, media and government.

This politician spoke out about BTS being exempted from military service. Media articles about this are all positive.

Most of them support the idea that athletes are exempt from the service, so BTS should be too.
And the reason is that no one in the world cares about the Billboard charts except idol fans.

The government invited industry representatives and Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ didn’t intentionally get involved, to make it look like they weren’t involved in anything and that they credit the government for supporting BTS in the first place.

The Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ and BTS members acted as if they didn’t care about the decision and that they would enlist no matter what. They even wrote lyrics about it.

The government has been trying to pa̾s̾s legislation in favor of BTS (not in favor of any other groups). And now, the government is about to change. Therefore, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ is pleading with the National Assembly to make a decision to exempt BTS from their obligations.

2 . There is also this article. The journalist said that he received the money for writing an article about BTS’ military exemption and their influence on tourism.

3. BTS didn’t even think about exempting from military service. ARMY said that major agencies gathered together without Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ and asked for an exemption from enlistment.

In fact, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ didn’t attend because they wanted to seem like they didn’t care and other companies attended because the government called them.

Suga even wrote a song about it. What is the result? The idols of the 3 big companies are all doing their military service and only Bł₲ Ⱨł₮’s idols get special treatment.

4. They invited 100 reporters to Las Vegas and gave them a free tour. Somehow, articles about disclaimers appeared.

In Dispatch ‘s survey , there were only 500 people but they wrote an eloquent article about it.

5. It’s strange that every time BTS does soмєтнing, the news comes out and it becomes such a hot topic.

Even if they hold a normal concert like other idols do, the news will be made on TV.

The legislators wanted them to be exempt from military service because they topped the album charts in other countries and the company said, ‘Give me the answer ASAP because BTS is having a hard time’.

6. They do not promote national prestige. Foreign ARMYs ιиѕυℓт and belittle ḳöŕệä.

They say BTS is not K-pop and when they go to a concert and see ḳöŕệäns, they take pictures with their phones and mock them.

HYBE itself is more for αмєяι¢αns than ḳöŕệäns, so foreign fans look down on ḳöŕệä a lot.
