BTS will not be exempted from compulsory military service at home in South Korea, but the ARMY is asking officials to let them serve together
Since 1957, South Korean male citizens between the ages of 18 and 28 have been required to complete approximately two years of compulsory military service. Women are not required to serve, but they may voluntarily enlist.
Around the time of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, South Korean law introduced legislation that allowed winners of certain international arts or sports competitions, such as Olympic medalists, to opt out of the military. Over the past 10 years, 280 artists and 178 athletes have been exempted from military service.
“The Ministry of Defense is currently debating with related authorities on improving the current alternate service [program] in place of conscription, but nothing has been decided as to when a change may take effect,” a Ministry of Defense official toldThere have been just a few cases where South Korean celebrities were able to duck out of military service, citing health issues or financial hardship.
