In South Korea, the military service is mandatory, and it's not just for people who want to be in the military - it's for everyone. This means that even celebrities like the members of BTS have to serve, unless they get an exemption. But, why would they need an exemption, you ask?
Well, in South Korea, there are some exceptions to the rule, like if you're a special talent or if you have a medical condition. But, for the most part, everyone has to serve, and that includes Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, Jimin, , and Jungkook. It's kind of like how in the US, everyone has to pay taxes - it's just something you have to do.
Now, you might be wondering, what happens to BTS while they're serving? Do they just disappear for two years? Not exactly, but they will have to take a break from performing and making music. It's like when your favorite TV show goes on hiatus, and you have to wait for the next season.
