I'm ignorant to how that goes with enlisting. It's basically mandatory for South Korean male citizens to have to serve in the military (length depends on what you're doing). There's a certain age span that you have to enlist by and Jin is approaching that upper age limit. Suga's not that far off either.

Meanwhile me who mainly follows girl groups/female solo artists when it comes to K-pop... Well there's the 7 year curse that tends to hit girl groups harder than boy groups but anyways...

The South Korean military needs to give Jin a special exemption in recognition of his perfect face! >:(

Well, good new for y'all BTS fans, their record label just confirmed that the military enlistment for their oldest member, Jin, can be delayed until the end of 2021.

If I was him I'd would enlist right now so I can be ready to tour once the pandemic (hopefully?) ends.
Mandatory military service is crap tho.

I honestly, I think that would be better if they all enlist around the same time (although I'm still rooting for Jungkook to become a main Pop boy in the US) instead of having them enlist one by one. Cause after Jin (born in 1992), and then Suga (1993) has to enlist, followed by RM & J-Hope (1994) and so on... It's gonna take forever for them to finish and come back as a whole group.

If I was him I'd would enlist right now so I can be ready to tour once the pandemic (hopefully?) ends. I'm counting on a vaccine at the beginning of next year and rescheduled tour dates in May 2021... but now I've prolly just jinxed it.

Shouldn’t they just defer their military enlistments until they are in their thirties? These kids generate billions of dollars in revenue for Korea with all of the merchandise, etc. in order to be a pop star, you have to be young. You can serve in the military in your thirties or forties. Some of them are a bit long in the tooth as it is to be in a boy group.

You can serve in the military in your thirties or forties. Some of them are a bit long in the tooth as it is to be in a boy group. 28 I believe is the age limit in South Korea for military service. Jin will already be 30 (Korean age) by the end of next year so they're already kinda delaying it. Most of Korean actors & singers who were born in 1993 are enlisting this year. BTS consists of members born between 1992 and 1997 who are required to enlist as active duty soldiers. It has been assessed that it will be possible for the oldest member Kim Seok Jin (Jin) to delay his enlistment until the end of 2021, based on the military service law.
To prepare for the risk of artists suspending their activities due to military enlistment, illnesses, or accidents, the company is continuing to expand the ratio of revenue earned through products that do not require direct participation from artists, such as merchandise and licensing and video content. To minimize the risk of reduced sales due to our core artists’ impending hiatus from issues including military enlistment, we are reviewing a wide variety of business options such as pre-produced albums and video content as well as a flexible operation of artists who are able to promote.

I’ve never really cared for BTS but this came on the radio yesterday and it instantly clicked with me. Such an earworm! I might not be a BTS fan but they won me with this bop!

A disco song by a Korean boy band topping the Billboard Hot 100? It’s situations like this that make us realize that 2020 isn’t all bad after all.

Heard this on the radio and Yesterday, on Boston Pop radio. Sounded nice. Almost like it could have been in a Trolls movie.
