Quick Glance: Members of the Korean pop group BTS will be required to serve in the South Korean military.
- South Korea's SEOUL (AP) — BTS members will do their necessary military service under South Korean law, according to their management business, effectively ending a discussion over whether they should be allowed exemptions due to their artistic achievements.
- The announcement came after Lee Ki Sik, the Military Manpower Administration's commissioner, told lawmakers earlier this month that it would be "desirable" for BTS members to fulfill their military responsibilities in order to ensure fairness in the country's military duty.
- Because South Korea's draft disrupts young guys' professional pursuits or studies, evading military service or obtaining exemptions is a very contentious topic.
