After multiple hit singles, many records in sales and streaming broken, multi-million contracts and very successful concerts, it looks like <strong>the dream is finally slowing down<\/strong> for the seven members, but it definitely won\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement released by the company, they clarify that <strong>Jin<\/strong>, who\u2019s on the verge of turning <strong>30 years old<\/strong>, the oldest member, will be the first one to enroll in the military service demanded by the militia, followed by second oldest member <strong>Suga<\/strong>, <strong>who\u2019s 29<\/strong> at the moment. In the meantime, it\u2019s very likely that the other members will also have a year of music related activities and then fulfill the military service as well, this in order for them to be able to come back as seven in <strong>2025<\/strong>, as the record label announced. Let\u2019s do the math.<\/p>\n<p>The militia requires each male to spend minimum <strong>2 years in the service<\/strong>, and there are just over 3 years from now to <strong>2025<\/strong>, so each member could have 1 year of commercial activities with their careers and then enroll in the military service to be available for the BTS comeback in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>That means that the <strong>\u201cYet To Come In Busan\u201d concert will be the last appearance of the seven members together in quite some time<\/strong>, and it looks like they had a great time. As for now, we wish the best for all the boys in their near future, whether it\u2019s music releases or the serve time.<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s defense minister, who reigns in the military affairs as well, said in last August that the <strong>BTS will be able to participate in commercial activities<\/strong> abroad while they are in the military service, but will not be exempt.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full statement of the company.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FfRA_UJXwAAZpHo?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"Imagen\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BigHit Music is the record label that the worldwide sensation BTS is signed to, from their debut in 2013, and they have just now announced that the members of the boy band are parting ways to fulfill a requirement of the South Korean government.
