Many Possibilities for BTS Jin to Delay Military Service, This is the Opinion of South Korean Men

Kapanlagi.com - Military service in Korea is one of the government programs that require men of a certain age to fulfill it. But recently, the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) stated that BTS may be able to postpone their enlistment to a later date.

Of course, this news has made many netizens curious about the opinions of other Korean men, especially among non-celebrities. The Asian Boss YouTube channel recently interviewed Korean men who have completed their military service.

1. Compare Athletes and Musicians

In an interview, a man said that it would be unfair if BTS were exempt from military service. This is based on their law that Olympic athletes, gold medalists, and award-winning classical musicians are eligible for military service exemption due to their outstanding contributions.

For this man, K-Pop idols have not met these requirements. However, it cannot be denied that BTS is a cultural ambassador that should be considered. Furthermore, for this man, BTS's achievement of being number 1 on the Billboard charts is not comparable to an Olympic gold medal.

2. Regulations Should Be Clearer

In addition, there are also some men who agree that BTS should be exempted from military service. However, they request that the regulations be made clearer for K-Pop idols and other artists.

Furthermore, there are other men who disagree with BTS's military service exemption because for them, BTS is an entertainer while athletes are supposed to serve. Although BTS has contributed billions of dollars to the South Korean economy, for this man, the regulations should not be solely based on economics.

3. Agency Speculation

This was also confirmed by BigHit Entertainment. According to the agency, there is a 'high possibility' that Jin, as the oldest member of BTS, could postpone his mandatory military service until the end of 2021.

Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the agency speculates that such a case could indeed happen. Moreover, the likelihood is quite high.

Well, of course, it all comes down to individual opinions. Everyone has the right to express their thoughts. As good fans, we can only support and pray for the best for our idol. So, what do you think?
