The military service issue involving the BTS members has been settled by their own decision, but the controversy over military service exemptions has not been cleared up. Considering that the number of people to be conscripted for active military service has continued to fall due to a decrease in population, this scheme appears not to hold water any longer. Under the Military Service Act, global award-winning athletes and classical musicians can do alternative service in their respective fields instead of serving in the military. The announcement will end the long-running debate about whether BTS should serve in the military or be exempt due to their lengthy contribution to promoting Korea around the world. The public will feel sorry about the fact that BTS won't be able to carry out group activities at, what is, the peak of their careers.

Perhaps in a time when such wonders are possible, it has come as a greater shock that policymakers are still reluctant to change. What began as a casual interest in an eye-catching BTS music video, led me to explore other artists from the country, Korean society and feminism, and of course, K-dramas. The most famous case is of Yoo Seung-jun, a Korean entertainer who became a national sensation with his debut in 1997. I began actively listening to Korean music and became familiar with Korean pop culture in 2020. When compared with the BTS announcement from June that they are taking a break from the band to focus on their solo careers, there is a definite shift in the way many fans like me took the news of their conscription. For those like Psy who are in the public eye, even the appearance of trying to avoid military service can have disastrous consequences.
