BTS: Four more members of K-pop group to begin South Korea military duty

Fans of the K-pop group have been urged not to go to see them at military bases while they join up, as it could become a “nuisance” for other soldiers and their families.

Four members of BTS are set to start their mandatory South Korean military duties imminently.

Stars RM and V will join the army on 11 December while Jimin and Jung Kook are scheduled to enlist together the following day, according to South Korean media.

It means all members of the K-pop phenomenon will be serving mandatory service, as the three other members – Jin, J-Hope and Suga – have already joined.

Big Hit Music, which represents BTS, said there will be no official events for fans on the day of their entrance to military bases.

There is often a ceremony at South Korean training camps for new recruits, typically attended by soldiers and their families.

The record company has urged fans not to attend to “prevent any issues that might occur from crowding.”

“We ask for your continued love and support for RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook until they complete their military service and return,” Big Hit Music said in a statement.

“Our company will also strive to provide all the support they need during this time,” it added.
