Mandatory military service has been postponed for K-pop stars like BTS

 

South Korea's parliament has passed a bill to allow global K-pop stars, such as BTS, to delay their mandatory national service to age 30.

 

All able-bodied South Korean men aged between 18 and 28 are required to serve the military for two years.

 

The amendment to the Military Service Act allows exemptions for K-pop megastars, who boost South Korea's cultural image and economy with their international appeal.

 

South Korea allows eligible students to defer duties up to 28-years-old - having previously granted exemptions for high-profile classical musicians and Olympic athletes.
