BTS has so many fans around the world, so they are very interested in the issue of members going to the army in other countries as well.

For that reason, the claim of Handan came out of the politics only to give preferential treatment such as exemption from military service.



First, reporter Yun Nara.

BTS member'Jin' was born in 1992 and is 28 years old this year.



Under the current law, we have reached an age where we can no longer postpone enlistment.



BTS members have pledged to fulfill their military service obligations, but some political circles have argued to give BTS military special exceptions, and recently, reporters in the United States and Japan have been focused enough to report on the possibility of postponing BTS enlistment.



At today's national audit, the Military Manpower Administration announced that it was considering postponing the enlistment of popular culture artists including BTS.



[Jong-hwa Mo/Military Manpower Administration: We are reviewing this postponement method, taking into account the upper limit for deferring enlistment.]



Under the current law, the national representative is 27 years old, the doctoral program is 28 years old, and if there is a special reason such as disease, 30 years old It is possible to postpone until the age of year, but this is the purpose of revising the law so that the 30-year-old limit can also be applied to pop culture artists who have enhanced their national image.



However, he added that he would recommend candidates for postponement by setting strict standards so that there is no controversy over equity.



However, the Military Manpower Administration strongly expressed its opposition to the entry of American singer Seung-jun Yoo, who evaded military service.



[Jonghwa Mo/Military Manpower Administration Director: First of all, I don't want to use the term Seungjun Yoo.

I'm thinking of Steve Yura.

Because, Steve Yu is not Korean, but American.

(Because military service has been avoided) entry should be prohibited.]




The Military Manpower Administration explained why if the ban on entry to Mr. Yu is lifted, soldiers who faithfully perform military service will feel a great loss.
