Didn’t even clicked with me until now that the reason the older ones didn’t enlist last year is because Big Hit IPO hit the stock market and that deal with Universal Music was still being finalized. With this group, with one gone, that makes a huge difference. This story is a pipe dream, but it is not the worst idea. But when you have a music act that is a GDP for a country, how is this going to work?

    And here I am, a simple 2PM fan who’s been waiting five years for them to be together again… And yes, I know BTS is another league, but… gosh…

      I still stand by the government pulling the cord and waiving all of them. That extension was just a tester to reaction.

      There is just too much damn money on the table.

        IMO if athletes can be exempted for winning medals so can BTS. I don’t know that the government will actually do it though or that BTS members would want them to. Their global fans wouldn’t care but a lot of Koreans would.

          They need tobe atleast olympic bronze medalist or asian games winner. Did BTS win grammy? And with the same sentiment, an actor who win an oscar can get exempted too. 🤷‍♀️

    I initllay thought that enlisting together will decrease the time they are not complete to 2 years (vs. ~6years) but that will stop their momentum. Either should be fine but they should serve, not this waiver nonsense.
