▶ [SBS Star] Will BTS' Enlistment Be Delayed as Military Service Act is Under Discussion for a Revision?
The newly-proposed rules will be applied to individuals who have worked in the cultural and artistic fields for more than three years, have outstanding contributions in raising the national status, and have been acknowledged by the Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism for their exceptional merits will be allowed to postpone their enlistment.
Since it has been reported that the revision will include individuals in the field of popular culture and E-sports, many fans are wondering if the seven BTS members' enlistment will also be postponed.
In the report, the agency made a statement regarding BTS' oldest member JIN's upcoming military enlistment as he is supposed to enlist by the end of this year as a 1992-born.
The agency added, "In order to minimize the risk of sales reduction due to the planned vacancy of artists, we are reviewing various fields such as pre-production contents and flexible artist management."
Although the agency did not state the exact date of JIN's enlistment, but it seems like they are certainly putting the postponement into consideration.
