K-Pop Band BTS Will Serve Mandatory Military Duties
source
I know 2025 seems like far away but almost 2 years away will fly by before we know it. This news made me sad when I saw it and it still does but then I realized, it's not like we won't be hearing or seeing them at all during that time. BTS will more than likely try to keep us armies updated on how they're doing as much as they can while fulfilling their military service. Plus, bight & BTS will be giving us plenty of content/music and merchandise for us armies to enjoy before and while BTS fulfills their military service. Also, we can continue to enjoy the music/content & merch that has already been released throughout the years 🙂
So, this isn't a goodbye! once they start their service, it's only a see you later & once they complete their service around 2025, BTS will be back to their careers/schedules like normal again. I know this will be hard but army, we can do this! let's stay strong & we'll be stronger than ever in 2025.
Sick of all the commies in North Korea that just don't leave BTS alone.
I hope they stay there
I just hope Kim Jung un won’t be stupid and declare war and these guys end up on the front line.
I will stay with them until the end. I have been ARMY since 2014 and never seen them in person and I will not give up
I always knew that they would do military service, it was just when. They (BigHit and BTS) have had to do a lot of planning and organizing to get to a point where they could actually begin their service.
Who?
Hahahahahahaha
Much love to South Korea 🇰🇷 ❤ You have arrived in American consciousness with a bang! This has been one the leading stories on every news channel I have watched today because Americans LOVE BTS, K-Dramas, and LEE MIN HO 😊 Or…maybe I just love him. Anywho, much love ❤🇺🇸🇰🇷🇺🇸🇰🇷🖖🏽
I'm not Korean but there's no classical musician nor sports medalists who are being exempted from military service have made global impact and promoted Korean culture like BTS.
🍚🥡 Brutal Korean Rice Camp News Flash Report: North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un publicly announces that the popular Korean band "BTS" will serve in his military because they refused to make him the lead singer of the group.
Proud of my boys. See you in 2025 💜
Donald Trump has done more for Black people than any president in US history except Lincoln.
Hahahaha 🤣…it's about time. Sissy babies
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
We have to unsubscribe to all Korean stuff until BTS come back…….
BTS 💜 Forever
The best moment is yet to come 💜
We will wait….
BTS started out with nothing when they were just teenagers. They have accomplished a lot, carrying a message of hope and love that transcends gender or race. I feel so proud of them. I can't help but feel sad. They saved many ARMYs, they taught us to face life, and now with this announcement, BTS will never leave, but on the contrary, their achievements will continue to grow and get stronger. The Army will be in charge of maintaining this unbreakable bond… I will be strong, and I will grow a lot to meet in 2025. ARMY esperará el tiempo que sea sin importar las circunstancias, este vínculo es inquebrantable, gracias por salvarme antes BTS, ahora es mi turno de ser fuerte.
i'll wait for you til 2025
Having got their country on the global popularity and for their contributionat large , the mandatory service could have been waved off…
We are always with you BTS.We ll be waiting for your comeback .♾️💜 Till then let's support their solo works same as group projects armies.And let's keep them as the no 1 band untill they come back.Lets stream their songs during this time.And yes don't forget to vote for AMA awards.
Together we overcome the pandemic now united in prayer so that very soon we meet again and celebrate that day big and I 67Th.
💜BTS FOREVER AND EVER💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
No other band as brought so much joy and happiness with their songs and dance to me and millions of Army. Will wait for their return no matter what.
Now many BTS haters stop hating on them
If war breaks out, can you imagine the fear in the enemies eyes when they see BTS running at them with machine guns? Or would they be laughing?
