The Enlistment Law
In South Korea, all men who are abled have to necessarily spend 18 months in military training. There had been a long debate on whether the BTS as a band is also obligated to join the services, Jin, who is the older than other members of the BTS group was the first to go for enlisting. The future for the group looks uncertain as analysts have indicated how previous singers faced difficulty in getting their career on track after coming back from the service.
