Questions over whether the young men of BTS would be required to enlist under South Korean law bubbled for years, stoking heated debates over everything from the requirement being for men only, to whether the band's huge cultural contribution and earning power — both domestically and as representatives of South Korea on a global stage — should exempt them.After machinations by the government to grant the band a pass drew a sharp rebuke — especially from former members of the military — the Ministry of Defense ruled in 2019 that the boys of BTS would, in fact, have to serve.Another simply posted a short clip of a woman crying on her knees with the word "ARMY" emblazoned over her, in front of a superimposed image of the car driving Jin into the recruitment center.The force, consisting of members of the South Korean Army (the actual army, not the BTS fans), local police and fire departments were "jointly doing their best to prevent safety accidents."From Tuesday, Jin will go through five weeks of bootcamp training."
