South Korea’s Parliament passed a new law that will save members of BTS from having to serve in the military.
On December 1st – only three days before Jin’s 28th birthday – South Korea’s National Assembly passed a revision of the Military Service Act that allows K-pop stars to postpone their military service until they are 30.
According to the New York Times, the previous law required all able-bodied men to enlist in the military for approximately 20 months upon turning 28.
