[General] BTS, all members are expected to enlist next year

 

 There is a prospect that the BTS will be enlisted together in 2022.

Researcher Seongman Yoo of Leading Investment & Securities said in a Hive analysis report released on the 21st, "In a situation where BTS is expected to enlist together by mid-2022, the actual void is about 10,000 years due to the pre-production effect before enlistment."

Researcher Yoo said, "Hive has a domestic lineup of NU'EST, Tomorrow by Together, N'Hyphen and girl group girlfriend, starting with Seventeen, which will continue the genealogy of K-pop male idols leading to BIGBANG, EXO, and BTS. Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande also joined the program. From the third quarter of this year to 2022, at least five new male and female idol debut lineups at home and abroad have been well established.”

Hive mentioned the issue of BTS' enlistment in the military through an investment prospectus released on the 19th.

All members of BTS, from Jin born in 1992 to Jungkook born in 1997, are members of the active duty service. Among them, Jin, whose birth year is the earliest, can postpone entry under the Military Service Act until the end of 2022.

Hive said, "To prepare for the risk of artist interruption due to military enlistment, disease, accident, etc., we are continuing to increase the proportion of indirect participation-type sales that do not involve direct artist activities such as MD and licensing sales, and video content sales. In order to minimize the risk of reduction in sales due to the scheduled gap of artists, we are conducting business reviews in various fields such as pre-production of contents such as albums and videos, and flexible artist management through active members."

In accordance with the partial amendment of the Military Service Act on December 22, 2020, excellent athletes in the field of physical education and popular culture and arts for the purpose of advancing the national prestige are allowed to postpone military service until the age of 30. There is no problem, and it may be affected by variables such as whether or not the Military Manpower Administration permits postponement in the future,” he explained.

In addition, he added, "In order to minimize the risk of reduction in sales due to scheduled vacancy of major artists such as military enlistment, we are conducting business reviews in various fields such as pre-production of contents such as albums and videos, and flexible artist management through active members."
