The members of BTS released a message on Weverse today, November 22, regarding the pop stars’ mandatory military service.

BIGHIT MUSIC shared a letter to the “Army,” BTS’ fan base, which read: “Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC. We would like to inform our fans that RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have initiated the military enlistment process. The artists are preparing to fulfill their military service duties. We will inform you of further updates in due course.”

The message continues, “We ask you for your continued love and support for RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook until they complete their military service and safely return. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artists. Thank you.”

BIGHIT MUSIC revealed in September that Suga would join the military after Jin and J-Hope.

Should military service be mandatory in the United States? Why or why not?
