Jungkook spoils that he will be releasing content (mostly music), 6 months from now in May 2024!!

Interesting.

I wonder though just like all the other members, and from a financial point of view, isn't it a waste to release music without being able to promote it? Completely honest question.

I don't think he can.

Psy wsa performing while he was doing an alternative service in a company owned by a friend of his rich father.

he was caught and sent to an actual unit.

In Korean law, if someone is in the military the person's full attention has to be with the service so making money in private is not allowed.

That caused tragedies here and there since people with a family member to support were dragged to the military and the family member was without support, an argument used by the Korean incels who argued that while BTS made all these money these folks who had to support their family were dragged to the units, so that was unfair.

If JK releases a song while in the military, he will get into a big trouble.

He can. It's the same reason why kdramas are allowed to air even when male actors from the show are in the military - it's pre-recorded. He can release it but cannot promote it. But you already knew this

Then why none of the other members are doing it? They had plenty of time to record a song and release it in time

Dramas filmed before have a leeway since the actor has no control over when they are released. Singers can choose, so if the singer has chosen to release something during a service the singer is considered to have a decision to engage in profit-making activity during service

the members who are in the military likely didn't release anything while they've been in there cause idk... maybe we were getting releases and albums from the members that weren't in the military yet. Like between Nov 2022 and Dec 2023 alone... we got

• RMs album,
• Jimin/Taeyang Collab,
• on the street (just before hobi left),
• RM/So!YoON!
• RM/colde collab,
• Jimin pre-release and album
• Jimin OST for Fast X,
• Yoongi pre-release and album + tour,
• Jungkook with 2 pre-releases + Golden
• JK for Too Much,
• Tae with 2 pre-releases+layover
• Take Two as a festa song.
• The planet OST

So in general... any releases from enlisted members would not have been this year as we were jam packed with content from non-enlisted members.

Take Two/The Planet OST were released while 2 members were enlisted.. they could becuase it was recorded beforehand and it was completely fine. And technically J-Hope released the hope edition of JITB which had extra tracks on it (the live vers of some of the songs + instrumenals + a physical CD ver)

Also Kai was on EXOs Cream Soda comeback wasn't he despite it being released when he had enlisted. He just didn't promote with them. Why... cause it was recorded before.

And not too many people know about any of them since they were probably released with little fanfare

But if JK's song gets 'promoted' all the debates will begin again
