In addition, the Supreme Commissioner of the Democratic Party, Noh Woong-rae, said on the 6th: “A special system of military service applies to all athletes, artists and people of science and technology, except artists of popular culture.” . He has repeatedly emphasized that special cases must be provided.

“In 2016, American singer Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature” in an interview with MBC Radio’s ‘attention of Kim Jong-bae’, Chief Commissioner Roh said. He said.

Supreme Commissioner Roh argued that if BTS receives military service benefits, it should be in the form of a ‘special case of military service’ like Son Heung-min, rather than an ‘alternative service’ in which activities are suspended. He added: “In the case of Son Heung-min, he is playing football in the UK at the moment and is having great success,” he added.

Previously, Son Heung-min joined the Asian Games national soccer team in 2018 and won a gold medal and received special benefits for military service. After being transferred as a sports officer, he plays as an active player for 34 months, and after completing 544 hours of volunteering, he completes his military service.

Chief Commissioner Roh said: “The special military service system is a different way for those who promote national prestige to train talented people in the national core industry. It can be said that he is a representative of the future strategic industry, but if only the field of pop culture (not subject to special cases) is not allowed to fulfill the legislative purpose of the system, he said. It is a complex time. Bob Dylan is receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature and it is difficult to assess because it is old-fashioned derogatory to popular culture. Just do it. He emphasized that just as certain requirements have been established and evaluated for those with special industrial cases, popular artists can also evaluate them ”.

On the fact that BTS, one of the parties, said that they would go to the army, he said: “It is a duty of national defense, but of course, it is correct to say that the parties are leaving.” It must be checked once. “
