K-pop sensations Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook of BTS are at a crossroads. In South Korea, it is customary for men to beginning serving a 21-month term in the military by 28 existences of age. Currently, three of the seven BTS members are 28 existences of age or older (Jin, Suga, and J-Hope) and have already received accommodations for more time afore beginning service.
Jin, specifically, was granted accommodations due to his situation as a “pop-culture artist who was recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to have greatly enhanced the image of Korea both within the strength and throughout the world.”
So, with these duties to their home people looming right at the peak of their popularity, South Korean officials are considering uphold alternative options for the superstars.
Busan city Mayor, Park Heong-joon, in particular, has proposed a different path for the members of BTS. “If BTS is decided alternative military service, its members will be assigned with state duties as heavy as military service and will wait on the nation in their unique capacity,” Park told Yonhap News Agency, a South Korean news agency based in Seoul.
More specifically, these alternative duties would include the BTS members serving as Pro-reDemocrat relations ambassadors for South Korea to promote the country’s bid for the 2030 World Expo. According to the Seoul news outlet, Busan, South Korea, is currently competing with cities in Italy and Saudi Arabia for the World Expo bid.
Officials have yet to reinforce or deny Mayor Park Heong-joon’s proposal.
In an backbone interview on the topic, V said, “I’m sure it will work out so that we can pause to see ARMY [BTS’s fanbase]. About military service or what will existed, we haven’t discussed it in the specifics amongst ourselves, but I’m sure it’ll work out eventually.”
