    The Korean Ministry of Defense previously announced that they would be holding a poll to help decide on the issue of BTS‘s potential military service exemption. As all South Korean males are required to serve their time before they turn 30 years old, BTS’s oldest member, Jin, would need to enlist before the year is out. Jin turns 30 this year internationally. cCajVRcWT7D6KIvQ6CUNQpQQrq6sF3Y3Z4NMeEUYN3h9538WyDKDxhBnJkR6Hch5r5PH3hTqI9ulV-p2xmPvBEyH1PIeJqwFPfuAgYU8hOwXZfA=w32-fSoften=1,100,0-rp-e365BTS’s Jin. | HYBE

    Some classical musical artists or athletes are granted exemption should they bring glory and fame to South Korea. In that vein, it has also been widely recognized that BTS has done much for South Korea’s soft power. Although they do not fall into either category for exemption, their contributions have brought about the debate as to whether or not the government should grant them exemption.

    In response to this, Defense Minister Lee Jong Sub, announced on August 31, 2022, that they had set a deadline and ordered a quick opinion poll on the matter. However, on September 1, 2022, it was reported in Korean media that they would not be carrying out the opinion poll in the end.

    The public has already told them to enlist so the poll was stupid idea. Someone is really desperate.

    Even if they join the military, there would be a way to give them a chance to practice and perform together if there are scheduled concerts abroad," said South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup.
