- Summary: K-pop stars BTS to serve military duty K-pop boy band BTS will go off on mandatory military service, starting shortly with oldest member Jin, their agency said on October 17. Jin- who will be 30 on December 4, has put off his service for as long as he can and faces the imminent prospect of a full stint - meaning nearly two years out of the public eye. All other members will also serve the mandatory military duty according to their respective plans, the agency said. Since their 2013 debut, BTS have become a worldwide sensation with their upbeat hits and social campaigns aimed at empowering youth. "Both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment," HYBE-owned Bighit Music, which manages BTS, said in a statement. All able-bodied men in South Korea aged between 18 and 28 must serve in the military for between 18 and 21 months as part of efforts to defend against nuclear-armed North Korea. Some categories, however, have won exemptions, or served shorter terms. Some lawmakers had called for BTS to be exempted.
