The Office Of Korea President Announces Special Guarantee For BTS Whether They Enlist Or Not

Although there are no official results on special military service, but based on what the Minister of Defense has answered to the press, it does not seem like there will be much change in military service for BTS. BTS and ARMY also keep a positive attitude about the members' readiness to enlist.

Of course, the National Assembly and the Korean government are always considering many aspects in the case of BTS going to military service or not. While the controversy continues about the pros and cons of special military service for BTS, mainstream Korean media have reported that the office of the President ensures BTS's operation in all cases.

This seems to be good news that ARMYs can take:

In recent days, meetings of the Ministry of Defense with politicians have brought up many discussions on the issue of improving the military service law. In particular, there is the application of special military service to Kpop artists with outstanding achievements like BTS.

This is a story that has been going on for many months but has not come to an end. Although the Ministry of Defense has conducted surveys and collected people's positive opinions on this issue, their view is still that there is no change in the law on military service. Meanwhile, many politicians have expressed support for changing military service or different military service solutions for BTS.

But whatever the end result, we can be sure that BTS will be guaranteed certain rights for what they have contributed to the country. Recently, SBS 8 News reported, "The President's Office recently received a report on how to improve the special military service system. In any case, it has been confirmed that BTS's activities have been guaranteed."

Specifically, some of the solutions being proposed for BTS include enlisting the members to serve in the military band and having them serve military ceremonies and performances. Along with that, BTS will have 120 days outside the enlistment unit and be allowed to go on business trips abroad, attend award ceremonies, and appear on broadcasts.

Another case is made that members can serve in military units like ordinary people, but they will be allowed to participate in large group activities or activities related to the military or promote the country. But in general, in any case, the Office of the President ensures that they will help BTS' group activities happen.

In general, in any respect, there will be advantages and disadvantages of these benefits, like the story of the Busan concert in October. But no matter what, the most important decision for ARMY is from BTS!
