The National Assembly approved an amendment to the Military Service Law so that the enlistment of people with excellent results in the field of culture and popular arts could be delayed until the age of 30. Members of the world-class group BTS and BTS can also postpone military enlistment if they wish. Reporter Lee Gyeong-guk. BTS is setting a record by continuing their march to No. 1 on the US Billboard Top Charts. The status of all Korean culture beyond K-pop is also increasing by the day. However, along with the great popularity, the military service of the 20-year-old members is also of great interest. This is because controversy has arisen over preferential treatment along with public opinion that military service should be exempt. However, a legal basis has been established for BTS members to postpone their enlistment until the age of 30. The amendment to the Military Service Law, the so-called “BTS Defense Law” was processed in the plenary session of the National Assembly. Previously, only students or those with excellence in the field of physical education were specified as eligible to postpone enlistment. Excellence in the field of pop culture and arts was also included in this enlistment deferral. The government plans to develop a rule allowing pop culture artists who have received a cultural medal, etc., to delay enlistment until age 30, if recommended by the minister. However, if you commit an act that undermines your dignity, your enlistment may be canceled. Since BTS received a medal for their contribution to spreading the Korean Wave earlier, it is very likely to apply. Most of the members went to graduate school to expand their activities. The passage of this revision of the Military Service Law is expected to end the controversy over military service and focus on its activities. Not only BTS, but also other talented young pop culture artists can perform military service, although it is not easy. The National Assembly is expected to soon discuss how to expand the app’s focus to emerging esports players. YTN Lee Kyung-guk[[email protected]]it is.
