According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim Nam-joon and Kim Taehyung, members of the South Korean men's group BTS (BTS), enlisted in the army on the 11th, and the two will serve as active soldiers of the South Korean Army for 18 months after basic military training. Two other members, Park Jimin and Jungkook, also enlisted on the 12th. So far, all 7 members of BTS have enlisted.
South Korea's "Asian Economy" said on the 11th that on the morning of the same day, Kim Nam-joon and Kim Taehyung's vehicle entered the army training center in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea, and a large number of fans and ** waited. Subsequently, another member, Kim Seok-jin, posted a photo with the members on social platforms.
BTS consists of 7 members. Among them, Kim Seok-jin and Jung Ho-seok enlisted in the army in December last year and April this year respectively, and Min Yuqi served as an alternative service member in September this year. The three took leave to go to the scene on the 11th to see off Kim Nam-joon and Kim Taehyung.
In recent years, "whether BTS should be exempted from military service" has repeatedly appeared on the "hot search" at home and abroad. Just last month, Jung Horn-seok, who is serving in the military, also sparked dissatisfaction among BTS fans and a debate in South Korean society about "whether celebrity military service is special" because of whether he served as the host of military activities. Yonhap News Agency said that all members of BTS will resume group activities in 2025 after completing their military service. (Xu Yang).
