Born in 1992, aged 30, Jin, the oldest member of BTS, received a recommendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to postpone his enlistment in accordance with the revised military service law of 2020, and his enlistment has been deferred until the end of this year.
In response, Jin announced his plan to enlist after a solo concert in Busan last month, and after returning to Korea after performing the single “The Astronaut” with the band Coldplay in Buenos Aires, Argentina, presented a request for the postponement of his enlistment. If a deferred enlistment intends to enlist in the military before the end of the deferred period, an application for cancellation of the deferred enlistment must be submitted to the Military Personnel Administration.
The Ministry of National Defense has expressed its position that it will provide participation opportunities if the member himself wants to participate in an event of public interest or national interest after enlisting the BTS.
