South Korea requires men ages 18 to 20 to serve in the army at least 18 months. South Korea’s Ambassador to Great Britain said, “It is very much expected that young Korean men serve the country and those BTS members are role models for many young-generation Koreans.”
Per TMZ, the Ambassador did not give a time frame on when the group will actually be called into duty.
