BTS may not perform as a full group in future world tours

BTS may be unable to continue performing as a 7 member group at their concerts starting in 2020. 


Jin and Suga may have to fulfill their military obligations, and therefore unable to perform with the whole group in world tours. Males who are 25 years old and above in Korea must get official government permission to leave the country. 

Jin is currently 27 and by age 28, he must enlist in the military. Suga, who is currently 26, may be unable to tour in the latter half of 2020. 

Although the government has acknowledged BTS for their global success, these matters lead to ambiguity regarding the group's future activities as a group overseas. Politicians have even suggested that BTS be exempt from military duties due to their success, but that issue is still currently being debated.

We're all aware that they will all need to go in to the military, starting with Suga and Jin. That's obvious considering their age, no ARMY is unaware of this.


But that hasn't happened yet, there has been no mention of enlistment dates yet from BigHit or BTS. So what is this post even for?!

bitch they "give" billions of $ to korea every year, I am not army and i don't especially like BTS's music, but from an economic point of view, obligating them to enlist is totally stupid
