South Korean Boyband BTS May Have To Join The Military

The mega-popular South Korean boy band BTS will not be given exemption from mandatory military service.
The defense ministry made a statement reaffirming its policy of no exceptions for pop stars.
The decision is likely to fuel debate about whether entertainers and athletes should have to do 18 months of service,
BTS has created a wave of Korean pop, with three No. 1 albums on the Billboard chart in less than a year.
