BTS Joining Military in 2021: There is a possibility that BTS will carry out their mandatory military service all together at once. When the South Korean National Assembly’s defence committee passed a bill that would allow famous male popstars to defer their mandatory military enlistment, ARMY thought BTS was in the clear. However, according to the latest buzz, come 2022, the boys may just be on their way to enlisting in the military together.
HYBE releases a statement regarding BTS’ enlistment
On April 21, in an investigative report published by Leading Investment & Securites about HYBE, research analyst Yoo Sung Man wrote, “It is predicted that the BTS members will enlist in the military simultaneously before mid-2022. Considering the effect of the content that will be pre-produced ahead of their enlistments, the actual period of inactivity will be around one year.” Currently, the period of service for active-duty soldiers is one year and six months.
Last December, the Ministry of National Defense promulgated an amendment to the military service law that makes outstanding individuals working in the popular culture and arts industry eligible to defer their military enlistment. If it is confirmed that BTS is eligible for this law, the oldest member Jin will be able to postpone his enlistment until the end of 2022.
Following reports, a source from Big Hit Music stated to Xportsnews, “We have nothing to tell you besides what the artists have shared.”
We have enough high-tier artists to push content while BTS completes their military service, says HYBE
As the 7-member group has already commenced pre-production of content for an album prior to their enlistment, there will roughly be a one-year absence. The report states that as RM, V, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin and JungKook have already been inducted into the music halls of legends, alongside the likes of Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Beyonce, and others, this absence in the music space may not affect their popularity ratings. The report further goes to state that HYBE has enough high-tier artists to push content while BTS completes their military service.
In addition to SEVENTEEN, NU’EST, TXT, ENHYPEN, and GFRIEND, the acquisition of Ithaca Records means that they also have Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande under their label.
