if you can't answer this 2 questions that mean bts don't deserve an exemption.

    Why answer these 2 questions?

    I have been reading about why athlete get exempted and it is not as simple as what they have done and achieve for the country. There is just more to that and I came with 2 questions:


    1. What did they achieve and why enlisting now is a bad choice to the country?

    2. What exactly have they achieve(that is prestige for Korean) to get exempted?


    question 1:

    This is a very simple question. What they have done to the country that they deserve to get exempted? and why enlisting now is bad for the country?


    For example, athlete winning medal for the country is something athlete needed to achieve to get exempted.

    Also, why is athlete enlisting when they won medal is bad for the country? Athlete have their peak and when they won medal, they are either on their peak or climbing for more medal. If they enlist now and stop practice for 2 years, they might not able to get where they are before. Which will result into ruining an athlete's career and stop helping the country to get the medal. Therefore, there is an exemption for athlete who won medal.


    Question 2:

    What exactly have they achieve to get exempted?


    Exemption is not target individually, but target a group of people. For that being said, when they give BTS an exemption, they need to state what is the requirement to get the exemption. That mean if any idol in the future have met the requirement, they will also allow to get exempted from the military.


    This whole thing is not just about BTS, but is about the whole idol industry.

    omg. this has been talked and explained to death. google it

    BTS deserve exemption cause ARMYs say so and no one wants a bunch of annoying ARMYs crying in their face constantly

    Send them to the army and let people get over it, jesus


    The majority of people who complain about this are foreign fans who don't even know how Korea works and if the law in Korea says they need to go to the army than they have to go

    The funny thing is, there was already a criteria suggested for idol exemption which is to exempt those who get the cultural merit award. But all labels were crying that it’s is so hard to get. So you can see that it was other record labels that want the exemption so they can use it for their idols.


    Idols are also at their peak and two years of enlistment might affect their performances - like classical musicians get this excuse, why not modern musicians?

    bts just don't deserve it as any other idol do.

    Army need to wrap their head around this and stop crying about this and that.

    Only maknae line should be exempt!

    [Entertalk Pann] Former Korean soldier lays out rational and empirical arguments as to why he supports BTS' exemption from the army
    This is my first time writing on a PANN.

    I was just looking through the news yesterday, and saw an article that BTS is having a difficult time exempting from military service, and Nate seems to be leading source for opinions on idols. I'm writing it down to express my old opinion because I have a lot of time during my annual leave.

    Starting from the conclusion, I would like BTS to be exempted. I'm saying this without any bias as a fan, rather it is far more beneficial to the national interest and…

    And you need to mind your business

    This is my feeling on the whole topic.

    Personally, if BTS intend to stay in their Meghan Trainor phase I'll be happy to have an 18 month break, but it's none of our business. Whatever those in charge decide, it's none of our business. If the powers that be say they deserve exemption they'll get it, if they don't they won't, and blue haired kpop stans everywhere will have no say in it.
