This present society awards elitists.
Y'all are talking about exemption when the main issue is about postponement.....
In a democratic country everyone should be equal before law, just because bts are very popular and successful that doesn't means they should get special privileges.
There have been many legendary kpop boy groups before like Bigbang, TVXQ, G.O.D, H.O.T ... but none of them tried to run away from their military service like bts and bighit are doing
Weak troll, since BH & BTS have never asked for a postponement or exemption, and have in-fact been quite adamant about doing their service if or when they are called to do so. But when you're bringing in a percentile of an entire country's GDP, and revolutionize an entire industry, people tend to treat you differently I suppose!
Also, exemptions have always existed within SK conscription laws, so it's not as if there isn't precedent for the law that the Defense Ministry passed.
when common sense is not common. 
big hit did not even attend. lol.
I think it's the fact that these companies are using BTS's situation basically using it as a shield for their own groups which is pretty pathetic if you think about it plus they had meetings that as far as we know neither BTS or BH ever attended. As far as I know, BTS themselves said they'd serve their time which doesn't help these companies' situation.
So, what makes you think BTS are running away?
ARMY would accept it if these punk ass companies had the balls to request it for their groups instead of dragging ours down and having them take all the heat. But alas, we can't always get what we want and neither should those 26 labels get what they want too.
It was a politician that used BTS' name for his argument, it wasn't any kpop company.

See? This is what happens when big fandoms spread lies and half truths. People start taking them for facts.
None of this happened. No kpop company used BTS as a shield. A politician started this whole wave using BTS name, then the government invited kpop companies to discuss the matter. That IS what happened.

None of these legendary groups have order of cultural merit award
No, a politician started the discussion and used BTS name, then the government invited the companies to discuss it. It's not those companies' problem that bighit didn't attend.

But they didn't have an Order of Cultural merit now, did they?

Then why didn't govt invite bighit?
I'm damn sure there were articles about this.
So you admit those KPop companies attended a meeting regarding it while using BTS’ name and success as the catalyst for it when BTS and BigHit had nothing to do with it right? After the first meeting those companies knew BigHit wasn’t interested in the postponement conversation and those companies continued to use the BTS narrative to find ways of getting their own artists’ enlistment postponed.
At the end of the day the industry mooches off of what BTS accomplishes and then leaves them out to get all the backlash for things they don’t personally participate in.
lol then there shouldnt be exceptions for olympic winners, athletes, classical musicians who win competitions etc.
There is precedent in korea for exceptions . And BTS being on a league of their own not even getting exemption but only postponement after getting the order of cultural merit fits right within that high bar of exceptions.
Fate played a good joke on those agencies who exploited BTS's name for so long trying to benefit from their achievements to get exemptions for their idols. They forgot they were setting themselves up when they compared them to BTS .

They were INVITED by the government to discuss the prospects of offering kpop idols postponement. The discussion happened because a politician suggested it, using BTS name. I don't understand why you all are acting like these companies did something heinous. They were not the ones that used BTS name and they were not the ones that started the conference. The discussion already existed and the conference was decided by the government and the government INVITED kpop companies to discuss.
Iirc bighit was invited too but they didn't attend.

I won't discuss about the topic that you try to compare groups like Bigbang or Hot with BTS. Since the answer is clear as water that BTS plays in a whole different Leauge.
What I think that is funny about your post is that you implied that try to run away from the military with a GD profil😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahah
I laughed my ass off. The GD who was more in the hospital than in military in his time

I read nothing but facts

You know as well as I do, that it doesn’t fit the victim narrative. Behind the scenes the KMCA was lobbying for it hard to the government AFTER it was brought up by politicians who used BTS name.
Yes kpop companies besides BigHit wanted it A LOT, but this idea that they had an evil scheme to make BTS take all the backlash is delusional garbage from the victim complex fandom. It’s obvious they will keep using this narrative because it makes BTS a victim baby and they love protecting grown men

Why this FALSE INFORMATION THREAD allowed to be posted? Moderator should delete this.
The New Law is only about 1 year postponement from the normal age limit ( from 29 years age to 30) that can be applied to any person that meet a certain requirement.
This thread is the problem why I laugh when they say it's "unfair".
#1 it's a postponement, not an exemption
#2 when this issue come up, people always trash BTS, saying it's unfair. It's only unfair when it's BTS? But if other group get it too then it's not? Make it make sense please.
#3 This discussion didn't come up because of the fans, the government came up themselves. Fans didn't engaged in it. BH did not push it. BTS said not one word.
The only people who push for this law was other companies because they want their own boy groups to get it. So why are you criticizing BTS because of other companies' greed? People dont look at the story, they just see BTS and ARMY and start making accusation - like this thread. Accused of unfair treatment, accuse Armys of starting this mess. I see not one person drag the other companies for pushing this law IN THE FIRST PLACE. Why?
