00:00 BTS' agency Big Hit Music announces members RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook have begun their
00:06 military enlistment process.
00:08 Big Hit says the artists are "preparing to fulfill their military service duties" and
00:13 asks for fans' continued support until they return.
00:17 The four members are the last batch of the seven-member group to undergo the mandatory
00:21 military enlistment.
00:23 Members Jin, J-Hope and Suga have already enlisted, with Jin and J-Hope under active
00:27 duty and Suga as a social service worker.
00:30 South Korea requires all able-bodied Korean men to serve in the military for at least
00:34 18 months.
00:36 Enlistment can be postponed until the age of 28.
00:39 But a 2020 bill allows South Koreans who excel in popular culture and art to delay their
00:44 enlistment until they are 30 years old.
00:46 BTS is expected to reunite by 2025.
