After May 4 (KST) Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hwang Hee<\/strong> requested an observation of BTS<\/strong>‘ exemption to military service<\/strong> from the National Assembly authorities, a decision has been made on the group members’ obligations as South Korean citizens.<\/p>\n

Sung II Jong<\/strong> spoke at the official cabinet meeting about the bill to exempt the K-Pop group from military enlistment<\/strong> due to their many achievements throughout their artistic career, both their domestic and international awards such as the American Music Awards and Billboard.<\/p>\n
