“This morning, I ordered my staff to quickly conduct a public opinion survey. The survey will be conducted by a third-party institution instead of a related ministry to ensure impartiality“.

Even though Korean netizens were unhappy with this decision, fans of BTS and HYBE are urging lawmakers to make a decision as soon as possible.
Previously, it has been reported about the possibility that the boy group can perform an alternative military service where they can fulfill their musical activities and continue to raise the country’s prestige.
