BTS JOINS BOOT CAMP

Jin, the oldest member of K-pop supergroup BTS, is set to enter a frontline South Korean boot camp on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, to start his 18 months of mandatory military service, as fans gathered near the base to say goodbye to their star. Six other younger BTS members are to join the military in coming years one after another, meaning that South Korea’s most successful music band must take a hiatus, likely for a few years. Their enlistments have prompted a fierce domestic debate over whether it’s time to revise the country’s conscription system to expand exemptions to include prominent entertainers like BTS, or not to provide such benefits to anyone. Big Hit Music said that both the company and the members of BTS 'are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment.'
