KBC held a survey ahead of the formal one to be run by the government to research public opinion on the issue of BTS' military service. 800 adult men and women over the age of 18 were surveyed, to which 35.3% responded that they were in favor of BTS being given military service exceptions, 22.4% slightly in favor, 12.3% slightly opposed, and 27.5% extremely opposed. When asked their opinion on lengthening the postponement period instead of offering exceptions, 29.4% were in favor, 28% were slightly in favor, 15.9% were slightly opposed, and 23.2% were extremely opposed.
1. [+478, -11] If you're going to poll this, you should limit it to only asking men.. why are you including women when they don't even have to serve... ㅜㅜㅜ
2. [+170, -10] Fine, let's see what happens when you give the group special exceptions just because a public opinion survey said to. I bet you that this entire country is going to flip over it ㅋㅋㅋ Cut this crap and have them change into uniform already.
3. [+85, -6] The survey should've been limited to men. How does it make sense at all to include everyone?
4. [+74, -1] Everyone needs to serve in the army. It's not fair that some get to sit out while others have to go.
5. [+18, -1] Why were women allowed to vote when they don't have to serve? And I don't get why a public opinion survey is even allowed to override the law ㅋㅋ
6. [+17, -0] I have never seen a country decide on something like this through a public opinion survey. What is this, some kind of Chosun dynasty sato trial? ㅋㅋㅋ Just play by the rules and go serve
7. [+10, -0] And why should I have to listen to the opinions of people who don't even have to serve?
8. [+9, -0] Since when was military enlistments decided upon by public opinion?
9. [+7, -0] You idiots, why are you including people who don't have to serve in the polls? ㅋㅋㅋ They don't deserve to have an opinion on this.
10. [+6, -0] If they're not going to serve, then cancel their Korean citizenships and disallow them from voting. If they're going to be exempted from duty, then they get to be exempted from our rights.
