LMAO, if this is really true then these k netz are a bunch of bitter idiots. They acting like having 7 pop stars in the military is going to turn the tide in a war.

Way to exaggerate when the real reason is because they are bitter and resent that BTS might not have to serve. Misery loves company. Hopefully they grow up and realize that BTS enlisting had no effect on their own lives and it was stupid to be so worked up about it.

lol these are just bitter jobless folks. do they seriously think bts is going to solve their problems with north korea in two years of serving. I doubt korean government is sending them to frontlines.

and op they way I knew even before opening this thread that what kind of comments there would be. there is no way you would be posting it if commenters were having different views. kpop stans treat bts like they personally killed their cats or something.

BTS enlisting will unify Korea 🤣🤣

He is a Jennie akgae

Anyways that editor did not even state them the truth. Fortune Magazine actually said $29.1b not $5b lol....

1. [+604, -129] We will lose our country without our army. Five trillion won is not the issue here. We are one of the only divided countries out of the four superpowers, and we've handed out too many exemptions as it is. If you are a healthy celebrity, you should be taking the lead in promoting our country's security and ensuring that we continue in our strength.

It says 5 trillion won which is even less than $5b

LMAO as if war broke out, 7 soldiers would save their country. You don't even need soldiers to fight these days.

🤣🤣🤣 🤡🤡 All the forgieners commenting on this in pure ignorance of our culture and state of the nation is hilarious 🤡🤡🤡. Obviously BTS serving won't win a war or anything, the people who brought it up are using them as an example, basically stating if you begin exempting them then everyone will want one eventually the pressure will be great enough the government will have to listen and once everyone can just get exemption you see the problem. There will be a lack of readiness when shit goes sideways and its a matter of when not if.

Over the past 20 yrs we have had skirmishes on the border from firefights at the dmz to a naval fight at sea and artillery strikes in occupied towns. The last thing we want to do is end up like Ukraine.

That's why people are talking about not allowing exemptions, but there's others who speak of the money aspect and they are not wrong to think that way. If i was still 20 and hadn't served already i would understand feeling bitter about it, like oh my life isn't worth it because I don't make 3 billon dollars🤡 when I do more to directly change the world. So yes i so get Why some people will be upset its the old trope of rich folk can get different treatment so people are like eat the rich lol

where’s the uproar for classical musicians and olympians who get exempted? meh….

atleast bts bringing in tourism money for the country lololol

Learn about Korean culture and history before you comment, then you'd know why there's no "uproar" about them

I understand the threat of war, and my country is a country on the border of warring countries and could go to war at any time. A country with compulsory military service. But at least my country listens to the calls from its citizens and offers them different options. Like mercenary service, for example. Those who have money can take paid military service and do military service for only 3 months. It may sound unfair, but the person with money does not have to apologize to anyone for having money. He doesn't have to feel bad just because he has money. Because in a country where millions of people live, it is not possible for all citizens to have the same economic power. It's just the fact of life. The Ukraine/Russia war once again showed that wars are no longer won by soldiers, but by technologically advanced weapons. Even if you have a hundred million soldiers, once these guys hit you with a missile, you're done.

Actually wrong wars are won by boots on the ground. If troops were not important the USA would have been won iraq and that whole war on terror and Afghanistan. The Ukraine war showed the importance of troops, Russia has a larger more advanced force tanks jets etc yet Ukraine is winning because they have better motivated and better trained troops they have been taking out Russian aircraft and armor with infantry held anti tank and anti aircraft launchers. Only a fool relies on bombs, the fact you mentioned only needing a missile shows you know absolutely nothing about the military and warfare. If you don't know something it's ok to say nothing at all or i don't know.

Ukraine's situation is better than Russia, but not for the reasons you mentioned and we are both aware of that. The situation would not have progressed this way if US and Europe had not sent billions of dollars worth of highly advanced weapons to Ukraine and Russia had not been so backward due to corruption in its military. Russia could only go so far with its backward weapons and its army lacking advanced technological weapons. You don't need millions of soldiers to be successful. Ukraine's population is 40 million, but why can it managing to resist Russia with a population of 144 million? Sit and think about it.

You don’t need to read a book to know that Koreans are classists. That’s why they don’t care that chaebols and other rich Koreans get out of mandatory enlistment all the time. More than the classical musicians ( a hobby/career that a lot of rich people push their kids into). Rich Koreans bribe the right people to get exempted for medical conditions ( like having different prescriptions to correct their eyesight ). They also send their children abroad to avoid it. Yet Koreans care more about 7 idols getting exempted over the many other rich people that have scammed the system for decades. Maybe they should direct their anger towards fixing the system instead of at 7 men who have done more to promote SK than any SK celebrity ever has.
