BTS’s announcement that they'd be taking time off to pursue solo projects comes amid a growing debate in South Korea over whether the band and other K-pop stars should be granted exemption from the country’s mandatory military service.
HYBE, BTS’s management company, released a statement saying the group was not taking a hiatus but “would start solo projects while remaining active as a group.”
All able-bodied South Korean men are required to enlist by age 28, though parliament revised a law in 2020 to let K-pop stars postpone their national service until they are 30. The band’s oldest member, Jin, 29, said in an April news conference that he would leave any decisions about military service to his management company.
