"BTS" JIN, will the military enlistment issue be settled in December... "Will the military controversy end soon?"
Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Park Bo-kyun said, "We will confirm the enlistment of the Korean boy group BTS as soon as possible," drawing attention to the government's stance on the long-running controversy over the military service of BTS members.

Minister Park Bo-kyun said on the 5th at the National Assembly Audit Committee on Culture, Sports and Tourism that Rep. Lee Yo-ho was passive about the BTS military conscription issue.

Minister Park Bo-kyun said, “First, national defense is a sacred duty and military service is a symbol of fairness. The second was the economic ripple effect of 'BTS' as the vanguard of K culture, the fairness between popular and pure artists, the fourth was the performance of one of the seven artists in 'BTS' as a complete body, The fifth has been a poll so far, but we have been analyzing and checking public opinion and discussing these things for a long time, including the recent columns, the consciousness of men in their 20s, and the opinions of lawmakers, and consulting with related ministries,” he said.

In particular, Minister Park Bo-kyun said, "The final conclusion is that the military issue of Jin, the oldest member of BTS, will be sorted out in December, so we will decide our position soon."

The oldest member of BTS, Jin, was born in 1992. His enlistment has been postponed until the end of this year after receiving a recommendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
