Comment on the time of BTS’s enlistment from the stock company’s report – “We are expecting all BTS members to enlist together by the first half of 2022, and the actual break will be just about a year thanks to premade contents.”

Quote

Analyst report predicted all BTS members will enlist together in 2022 to minimize the release gap between their albums.

According to an analyst at Leading Investment & Securities, BTS members will enlist together by the first half of 2022. In the research report, he stated, “We are expecting all BTS members to enlist together by the first half of 2022, and the actual break will be just about a year thanks to premade contents.” He then rated “buy” for HYBE stocks with a price target of 340,000 KRW(about $304 USD), saying the label has other global artists to bridge BTS’s enlistment hiatus. cr

1. They are not Big Hit, so don’t believe this

2. If the members decide to enlist together, I think I will support this, I believe there will be a lot of content during their enlistment period..

3. I don’t want them to enlist together.. Jungkook is still so young

4. BTS will do everything on their ownㅋㅋㅋ I’m just willing to wait for any decision from them

5. If the members decide to enlist together, please support their decision

6. Personally, I think it’s better for all BTS members to enlist together. Because BTS mainly focuses on group activities rather than individual activities

7. We just need to respect BTS’s decision

8. Every decision will be made by BTS, so I don’t even worry about it. Leave them alone..

9. I don’t think they’ll enlist together

10. Please, I want to see individual activities, I want to see the members’ solos

(hmmm what happen recently related to enlistment...) it's starting again. people trying to make decisions for bts...

 

there are pros and cons enlisting together. i'll support whatever decision bts makes tho.

adding on:

One main reason, I can see this being false is the possibility of touring starting back in 2022/2023.

The possibility of a near future BTS tour with out just 1-2 members [Jin- Suga] is still very much profitable for HYBE.

You know you can just edit your previous post to add this on? Don't get me wrong, I love your input, but I think double posting is against the rules or at least scorned upon.

Here we go again with the enlistment rumors! BTSxMilitary ship seems to be everyone favorite topic when they have nothing interesting to write about

I do it by accident all the time too 'cause they usually merge when you're logged in and don't change the page

Yes, I know I can edit.  I didn't want to edit tho. 

I'm leaving it as is, unless the mods say something. Because I've written post like this so many times in news and gossip threads and never had an issue. I'm mostly aware of the rule being a big deal in main group threads. However with the recent lack of activity on OH, the rule has sort of faded...

Yeah but don't they merge only if they were posted less than a minute apart? Not tying to attack anyone as I like the other user, I just don't see the point. I double posted a few times when I was reposting something with too much pictures for one post so I can't say I never did it myself.

I too think it's cool, and sort of an ideal situation. But i think it also depends on the group and what induvial idols want.

Some groups age range is really wide. So it can kind of be unfair for younger members. (e.g. I can sort of see what some knetz are saying...BTS age range is 92-97) Younger members would be sacrificing a part of their prime in their early to mid 20s (would of been even worse if BTS didn't have the postponement advantage)

Near the time of military enlistment is when some induvial members start to branch out from the group and do more induvial activities. (not sure if that's in the company contracts or something..) 

 

 

 

------------------------------

IF only the industry knew what it knows now...

Idols being stuck now in Korea for almost two years now.  Plus at a certain point some were being released early from the military too.

All eligible male idols would have enlisted in 2019. Companies could prepared some pre-recorded stuff too. Everything is online now anyways.

Update: BigHit Music responded, they have nothing to tell about the military service other than what have been said directly by the artists.

I agree wholeheartedly. The big age difference just doesnt help and the younger members could just do their own thing, which is the positive side. Just like how it happened with Taemin. On the other side ( im not saying this to apply to bts) other groups become inactive during other members' service or the group as a whole become inactive after the enlistments. Ex. Vixx. After N left i really feel like the boys were active as solo performers and so on, but it seemed like there wasnt smth to glue them together. And this could be just my perspective.

You're absolutely right, sadly some groups are not able to handle the separation. This is sometimes the fault of the company too. That's why it's a case by case situation.

I think groups like BTS will be fine either way tbh.

[Youahaen]

Here's a scenario. Let's say if they all enlist together in early 2022 or during spring. A month or two before that, they make a cb and release an album or two. After they're done with enlistment, they'll be discharged around fall the following year. Around two months after that, they make their grand cb which would still fall within 2023. This is not including the prerecorded content they might prepare for fans. They can still clinch daesangs in those two years 2022 and 2023, not giving chances to other groups. They will be unfazed by the enlistment .This is if they all enlist in any active duty with a period of one year and half, not 2 years. If they plan and prepare well which I can see BH doing, BTS will go on setting new record of still receiving grand awards and not declining just yet. People wouldn't even feel their hiatus/absence despite their enlistment. Things could work in their favor. In my years of following kpop, I've never seen a kpop group where all enlist at the time. The closest was TVXQ but there was still several months gap between the members. So if BTS really enlist together like the rumors say, this will be first group to do so if I'm not mistaken. At least the first among the popular and relevant idol groups.

Actually, if only companies and the industry were smarter last year when the pandemic hit and Covid was in its early phase shocking the world with sudden huge surge of infections. If only people could foresee and predict that this would be a prolonged issue and things wouldn't get better anytime soon. However, the average people (either due to impatience or overoptimism) thought this would end by 2021 but now here we are approaching mid 2021, things doesn't seem to get much better. Vaccine roll-out is slow in non-UK and non-US countries and especially there's been a new wave of infections and re-infections in Asia including Japan recently.  Its a rinse and repeat situation for a while now and will take a long while before situation gets 100% better and stabilizes. Like I said if only the industry and companies were smarter to foresee the prolonged impact of Covid, they'd probably just encourage and enable their idols aged 25-30 to just enlist already and stop delaying.

Bts will be fine either way but I feel like just going seperate or...not all at once at least..is wiser. Depends tho. Like it's 1.5 yr(or more? )(idk exact but I also think it depends on they're assignment too) . What some idols have done is prerecorded albums which I think is good idea. I think if they all go at once it'd be good idea to prerecord some things but they'll survive without fans will just be starving hhhh I never really experience being fan of bg in enlistment eras. But I did used to Stan btob and even just seeing from afar I think melody prolly survived it well bc they had solos and subunits in meantime. Oh well and I was myname Stan but they are over before most had to enlist. And they were still doing music(& the unit)  as 4 w/o insoo. Honestly I think hardest ab military Era I think is that's around time a nugu group will fizzle out. But nah groups like bts survive for sure.  And as much as fans love whole group I think they realize it's just sumn that has 2 happen. Their success isn't gonna falter missing one or a few members

I don't think they are allow to do that. From what I understand you can't make money during nor particular in any work related activities. Correct if am wrong?

[HRH Ayyu]

enlisting together makes sense IMO.

they are kind of hot now in US,  and being gone 1 year is nothing in the west.

In the case of Bts, they were planning a major stadium tour. A tour that fans had already bought tickets too. A tour that was eventually postponed and fans still hold on to their tickets even till now (sitting somewhere on BH financial statements). So it is lowkey understandable why companies early on were hopeful. I mean, most of world basically was back then. But yea it would of been nice if they could of predicted the future.

As far as now is concern, I do wonder what BH/Bts have discussed. Right now, Bts is still the companies most profitable act by a large margin. Anyone following Bts since Covid will notice the groups has been accepting more talk  and variety shows which is to be expected since they're stuck in Korea, but  more importantly Bts has been accepting and working with so many more major [high paying] brands, products and more, in Korea and internationally - which is making the company A LOT of money. They also continue to push out new merchandise. 

I guess, another way to look at it is... Bts has not been called officially by their country to serve yet. So until that time comes they continue to make money for the company with all their side projects. When the Covid situation get better (or manageable) yes a few of them will possibly have to start enlisting, but the hope by then is that other HYBE groups will be able to tour again too (even perhaps with restrictions).

I can't see them touring without member though. It may be profitable, but....missing members on tour? With a group that stresses "7 or nothing" so much, it just feels wrong. Just my personal feeling, but I probably predict many fans would also rather have every member there for concerts.
