After Jin made the decision to enlist, the Korean press had a lot of views and comments reporting on this event. In general, all have reacted praising Jin's decision in the context that the BST is facing a lot of criticism from the government's indecisiveness about enlistment.

In particular, the Korean media also pointed out why BTS was entangled in many controversies related to the priority of military service, comparing to other Kpop idols. Here is a summary of what the media said about BTS's enlistment:

The article begins by pointing out the fact that celebrities often delay enlistment as much as possible. Because artists understand how beneficial it is to be active while they are young and on the verge of popularity, but BTS is different.

The members of BTS stated that they hope to resume their activities in 2025 meaning that all members will be enlisting soon between 2023 and 2024, including the youngest members like Jungkook. They aim to resolve the uncertainty the government has caused in previous controversies and shape a more solid future of group work.

Not only that, unlike pop stars in general, BTS is a team that represents public values, so they are fulfilling their very important social obligations in Korea, like such as military service. It is also believed that BTS understands their influence on this issue among young people and they have done it to encourage the will of young people and to show their belief in a sense of fairness.

On the other hand, the Korean press also pointed out that BTS' enlistment is not only limited to domestic news, but it is also of great interest to foreign press. Since the establishment of Korea, there has never been a worldwide announcement about the enlistment of artists that has received so much attention.

On an American morning broadcast, the host asked, "Why was BTS not given an exemption? No one in Korea has contributed more to the international community than these seven." They are even curious about how important military service is in Korea, arguing about how military service exemption is, how much BTS has contributed to Korea, and etc.

It is rare for any Korean singer performing in Korea to receive as much attention from the world media as BTS. That is the truth and that is also what the politicians see and want to start a controversy regarding the privilege of military service.

BTS owns a global status and they have raised the value of Korea's national brand a lot. This will benefit all Korean companies and all Koreans who will be operating internationally in the future.

Next, along with the fame that BTS brings, some politicians want to change the law on military enlistment, which only gives preference to what is considered true "art" or athletes. Politicians and some media have distorted the discussion of the issue. Previously, it was expressed as the controversy about the benefits of BTS' going to the army, but in reality, there was no such controversy of only BTS, it is the exemption for pop artist in the future. 

Overall, it cannot be denied that BTS is an exception among all K-pop artists. Therefore, their enlistment is also special compared to other artists, but they are also the ones who receive the most praise for their decision to enlist. The value of military service is recreated through BTS's enlistment, helping to improve social trust and the community can unite. That is the value that BTS brings to the youth, the nation and the noble values ​​of the members themselves.
