The possibility of being someone Enlisted by the group BTS has been raised.
“With some one-Enlisted expected by mid-2022, the actual gap will be one year due to the effect of pre-production before Enlisted,” Yoo Sung-man, a researcher at the Leading Stock Exchange, said in a Hive analysis report released on Monday.
“Hive has a domestic lineup of New East, Tomorrow By Together, Enhyphen and Girl Group girlfriends, starting with Seventeen, which will take the lineage of K-pop male idols leading to Big Bang, Exo and BTS, and has recently joined Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande through mergers and acquisitions. “From the third quarter of this year to 2022, at least five new male and female idols have been firmly equipped.”
Hive mentioned the contents of BTS' military Enlisted through the investment manual released on the 19th.
BTS is an active duty soldier because all members of the group are Korean nationals from 1992 to 1997. The fastest birth year is 29 years old this year, and Enlisted is inevitable next year.
Hive said, “In order to prepare for the risk of stopping the activity of Artists due to Military services, diseases, accidents, etc., we continue to expand the portion of indirect participation type sales that does not involve direct activities of Artists such as MD and licensing sales, video content sales, etc., and to minimize the risk of sales decline due to scheduled vacancy of major Artists such as Military services, We are conducting various business reviews such as Artist operation. "
He also mentioned changes in the Military service law amendment. "As part of the Military service Act was revised on December 22 last year, the excellent athletes in the field of physical education and popular culture and arts for the advancement of the national security will be able to postpone their Military service until the age of 30." If the amendment is promulgated through a Cabinet meeting, the benefits may be obtained. The BTS has met the criteria set by the Ministry of National Defense.
According to the Ministry of National Defense's recent legislative notice on the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Military service Act, which was announced to the National Participation Legislation Center, the scope of the excellent people in the field of popular culture and arts is those who have received the Cultural Medal or Cultural Package among popular culture Artists.
In the case of BTS, it was awarded the Cultural Medal in recognition of its contribution to the spread of Korean and Korean Wave in October 2018, and it is included within the scope.
“The timing and method of the Military service of BTS members has not been determined as of the date of filing the Pakistan Stock Exchange report, and may be affected by variables such as whether or not the Military Manpower Administration will be allowed to postpone the entry in the future,” Hive said.
“In order to minimize the risk of sales decline due to scheduled vacancyes of major Artists such as Military services, we are conducting various business reviews such as pre-production of contents such as albums and videos, and flexible Artist management through active members,” he added.
The military Enlisted prospects of BTS are attracting extraordinary attention from fans at home and abroad. In any case, the gap was inevitable, and attention was focused on strategies that the agency and members would squeeze to minimize it.
There is a view that the possibility of being someone Enlisted on this day was raised, but this is only a possibility. It is also a view that starting Military service sequentially from some members will not be excluded to minimize the risk of sales decline.
