Highlights of the closing ceremony of Jakarta and Palembang Asian Game 2018 were the celebrations of the icons and Super Junior and two K-pop stars. With the rain pouring in, 60,000 spectators and Asian athletes in the stadium finished the 16-day heat by enjoying the music of K-pop groups that hit Asia and World with music. The closing ceremony of Asian Game was a stage that proved so naturally that Asia's mainstream popular culture is not different but our K-pop.
BTS' new album Love Yourself Answer, the hottest K-pop group, is released on the Billboard main album chart, Hot 200, in the first week of release. (This is the first place to be published in the previous work released this year.) "Idol," the album's album, is the first place on the Hot 100 chart, the main single chart. 'Album - Single first place The two events have been combined into one, and a new topic has emerged, and the netizens surrounding it are getting hot online every day. It is a ripple of military service preference that has attracted more attention than the sports itself throughout this Asian Game. Asian Game is a very important event for male athletes, only for gold medal winners, but with the Olympics and military exemption benefits. In the case of the Olympics, gold, silver and copper, or the third prize, can benefit from military service. Even so, the Olympics are hard to see as an event that will be noticed in the World sports World. If you think of sports itself, the authority of the World Championship by sport, such as the World Cup in football, the Athletics and Swimming World Championships, is unmatched with Asian Game and has a significantly lower chance of winning, but there is no military service preference (except for the 2002 World Cup semifinals and the 2006 World Baseball Classic semifinals) in sports. In the 1970s, when Park Chung-hee emerged as a symbol of national power, the government created a special military service system with the intention of helping sustainable activities for athletes who are promoting national power. In the early days, World Championships, Asia Championships, and Universiade winners benefited, but the object of the 1990 military service exemption, which South Korea emerged as a sports powerhouse, was reduced to the Olympics and Asian Game.
The countdown of the BTS Act? Due to the nature of sports that presupposes a young body, the enlistment of young people in their twenties is almost a death sentence for sports players. But the question is whether this applies only to toxic sports, and whether the act of promoting national status is also a matter of sports. South Korea's military service obligation based on the national military service system is a very important leverage for the stagnation of the Republic government in the midst of a truce. The yangban class of the dynasty was a privileged class that did not fulfill the obligation of the military service corresponding to today's military service. The fact that the public opinion of South Korea young people has a sensitive and strict view of military service avoidance can be seen from the nationwide anger about Yoo Seung-joon's attempt to avoid military service in 2002. He has not been in his country for 16 years. Military service exemptions have been applied not only to sports but also to the arts sector. If the general public wins the second place in the international art contest, which is not very interested, or if there is no international competition like Korean traditional music, the military service exemption will be applied if they win the domestic art contest. And also, the case of those who have completed the education of important national intangible cultural heritage is also applicable. The problem is that the arts field is applied only to so-called advanced arts such as traditional culture or classical music, and popular arts such as k pop and film are excluded from the original. Cho Sung-jin, who won the Chopin Competition, is an artist who promoted the national status and the first place on the Billboard chart Is BTS, which is leading the World K-pop sensation, just a 'dumb'? The controversy is spreading to the National Assembly. Even if it is recognized Worldly in popular culture, it is heard that the so-called BTS law is being prepared to give military service preference. There is also a move to eliminate the military service exemption itself, which brings cracks in democratic equity. In a compromise position, the military exemption benefits are eliminated, but instead, it is argued that other forms of military service or postponement should be institutionalized. Anyone in their twenties, even if they are not athletes, artists, or baduk knights, is precious. And ‘special’ turns, such as specials, privileges, and specials, are obstacles to the republican government. As the diversity of society deepens, it is desirable that military service obligations are determined in various ways and above all by subjective choice. However, it is necessary to have a reasonable equity in each of the various channels. We hope that this opportunity will be revised to include special military service exceptions that most citizens can sympathize with. And the Korean Wave officials who have contributed to the enhancement of the South Korean national brand more than any other area since the mid-1990s should open a channel to spread their duties more widely and deeply.
