The Draft Law Will Be Revised, Jin BTS Military Service May Be Postponed Until the End of 2021

Kapanlagi.com - There is good news for BTS fans. ARMY, who has been preparing to say goodbye to Jin as he goes to mandatory military service, may breathe a little easier.

Regarding the revision of the law in South Korea, which initially only allowed men who were pursuing higher education, including high school, research institutions, judicial training, and accomplished athletes, to postpone their military service, it is likely to also apply to celebrities and E-sports players.

In the revision, "People who have had an extraordinary influence in contributing to the advancement of the nation in the field of culture and arts, upon the recommendation of the Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism," will be allowed to delay their military service. In other words, "Individuals who have worked in the field of arts and culture for more than three years, have made outstanding contributions to enhancing the national status, and have been recognized by the government for their services, will be allowed to extend their registration."

In addition, BTS has recently been reported to have become official shareholders of Big Hit Entertainment. Despite the agency's registration in the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, the Financial Services Commission received documents containing Big Hit Entertainment's position on Jin's mandatory military registration.

As a consideration for potential investors, the uncertainty surrounding Jin's future military service must be handled by the company.

2. Agency Speculation

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

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