I already saw ;-;

But at least 3 of them want to do music. Some will likely do some fashion related things. They also have to do their military requirements soon. One of them - Jin - HAS to enlist by this December so this news isn't shocking.

Bro they released statements talking about burnout and not knowing where BTS was going as a group because of the heavy focus on having them perform in English - which they don't want to do.

they also each need to begin enlisting in the military.

i don't blame them at all for wanting a break. they do so much shit constantly i'd hate to see what their daily schedules look like. Jungkook has been doing this since he was 14 years old with no stop. He's a man now and has never been able to grow and do his own thing. it's time for them to be able to do all that.

Music industry is so toxic for that kind of shit, basically draining their artists dry. Japan with its Idols and South Korea with its boy bands seem to be the on the extreme ends when i see news stories like this.

Jungkook is pretty cool sounding, but it is probably thier version of George or something.

Jungkook is also the youngest so he has the best chance for a decent solo career before BTS reunites. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they don't fully comeback for almost a decade at this point. Jungkook is 24 and has about 6 years before he absolutely has to enlist in the Korean military. so he can have a REALLY good career for 6 years, enlist for his 18 month duty and "take a break" (many male idols report that their enlistment was more like a break for them because they actually start working and living a normal schedule), and then he can come back with BTS to continue his career.

he is the one who is best set up for longevity in a music career

What they SHOULD do is completely up to them. The date of conscription is a personal choice.

It's some pretty sound logic, why are you being unnecessarily hostile?

Anyways, why don't they just skip their service and chill out in another country? They're rich enough to dip and not go back

Because these are human beings and you're talking about a military enlistment lol. I'm not being hostile. I'm pointing out that they don't need to do everything for a business decision.

Why do you think someone would give up citizenship to a country they're proud to be a part of just to skip out on a requirement that many feel honored to do there?

No. South Korea has compulsory military enlistment for 18 months for all men ages 18 to I think 29 or 30.

But they get to decide when they enlist.

It's because they always have a border with North Korea so they want to keep their military numbers as high as they can just in case.

Uh I mean the choices are illegal and will result in permanent jail time or the inability to come back to your home country. I'm not sure how much of a choice that is.

Unless you means he's made the choice to enlist at the last minute which yes he did.

Here there is still a conscription of sorts, but the requirement of attendance has been suspended.

Even so, if it were still active here, even though I know I would fail the physical, I would have been a conscientious objector. And whether that would have meant jail-time or some kind of replacement civic duty, I would have been fine with that.

I'm not sure if they have conscientious objector status there. I know I would claim that if I ever got drafted here in the US. idk how all that works though.
