"BTS Act" "Abolition of Military Exemption"...Discussion of Military Service Exemption" split National Assembly
There is a lot of opinion about the military service exemption system. It is typical that BTS, which has been promoted to the national level, should receive the "military exemption benefit". In contrast, there is a growing voice calling for the removal of military exemptions at all. Both of these claims are leading to parliamentary legislation.
Kim Joong-ro, a member of the National Assembly's Korea Military Committee, is preparing the so-called 'BTS Act'.
If it is recognized worldwide in popular culture, it is important to give special military service.
Ahn Min-seok, chairman of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, said, "BTS has made a contribution to the nation by ranking first on the Billboard chart."
The detailed standard is that it can be made sufficiently through the process of public opinion.
On the other hand, Kim Byeong-ki, a member of the Korea Military Commission, will propose a bill to eliminate the military exemption benefits given to the military service exemption target and to serve in the form of special soldiers and leaders within the age of 50.
The Democratic Policy Committee is cautious about changing the military service exemption system.
A senior official of the policy committee said, "We have to discuss it calmly because public opinion is infested." We have to look at whether it is realistically appropriate. "
In the meantime, there has been no irregularities related to military service exemptions, and the continued decline in military resources is a worrying part of the government and the ruling party.
