In October of this year, BigHit Music and HYBE announced that the BTS members will complete their mandatory military service in South Korea. These enlistments can last from 18 to 21 months, and doing so means honoring and defending the country, according to South Koreans.
It is worth remembering that the government even allowed the BTS boys to extend their enlistment until the age of 30 due to the “BTS Law”. This year, the decision on the group’s military service even relied on a survey of the population, to decide on the big question, taking into account its enormous influence on the world’s k-pop scene.
