If BTS wins Grammys, an awkward issue might arise

Quote from Golden_Wishes

IU will be the first artists from K-O-R-E-A to win a Grammy that she will then use to slay BTS and fortify her throne in K-O-R-E-A for good

People in the Grammys do not know her

Quote from bbgc

IU being included in the 4th gen as its leader.

Well that, I think is more valuable than the Grammys.

Frankly at this point, the Grammy to BTS, is more like a grudgingly given one, they deserved it for 2020 itself, compared to which 2022 .. Is meh

But better late than ever, I suppose.

And even if that gets them exemptions, I don't think it is going to change Kpop much.

There is no clear cut leader among the 4th Gen and they do need a leader who had a long time dealing with the 3rd Gen

And the Senior Singer knows she is aging and she will not refuse a chance to exert her power among the newer gen of KPop

So it will be an alliance of convenience. First destroy Hybe and then decide who is the boss later

If this grammy gets them exemptions, concerts will resume within 3 months. K-O-R-E-A had a wierd law where male idols cannot leave K-O-R-E-A for more than a certain period (which is negotiable but by a case by case basis) , making world tours difficult and making female idols more lucrative than before.

That will put BTS back to the world map, and make people like Lee Jieun go back to their dungeons.

Quote from merribelle

Would a Grammy award do that or the fact that BTS just hauled $900 million dollars into the Busan economy for the Expo Bid make them rethink their No exemption policy

The point the conservative politicians were picking up was that things like concert size, billboard awards and other things are not 'objective' enough to become a criteria.

But a Grammy is an objective criteria which would qualify, and quieten the naysayers.

The current President of Korea is now in a weak position, and things would have changed by next year and a Grammy will probably quieten all the naysayers. It is no different than the guy who won the Chopin piano competition and received a military exemption, or someone who is serving in the military sports team and wins a medal in the Olympics. The money doesn't really matter - the reactionaries wanted a nail to hang, and a Grammy becomes the nail which provides the rationale because the guy who won the Chopin piano competition did get the exemption.

Quote from tetetete

woah so immediate discharge from the military is a thing too

These mandatory enlistment laws are very difficult to navigate

Yes. No different from a guy in a military sports team who wins a medal in the Olympics. His service ends thee.

It will take time for the politicians to set laws up for the exemption after the Grammys in February so Suga might serve for a few weeks, but the rest will only see 4 weeks of training.

Quote from Ves

Do you promise?

It is a do or die battle between the two so it is quite likely, more than 51% chance

Quote from 134340Moonchild

BTS should just get enlistment over with ASAP and then they will never have to hear about it again. They should all serve together ASAP because the world is getting scary and I wouldn’t trust North Korea, China, or Russia to not escalate in the near future. TBH, I always thought they should’ve served during the pandemic, it was the best time for it.

It was when they attained their biggest popularity

If they were in the military back then they would have been forgotten by now while Lee JIeun would have run around like a wild bull in a bull ring

Quote from bbgc

Legally, I don't know.

But otherwise, all prizes to BTS now are affirmations than achievements.

It does change things a lot, and will also make the singer who spent all her life trying to destroy KPop a chance to show her hostility to KPop again
