[theqoo]BTS, MILITARY SERVICE UNCERTAINTY IS MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT" HYBE JOINS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATE

[Dont mind me]

I dont want to say if BTS deserves to be excluded or not, but my main question I have that has been bothering me. Is the military training worse than what they went through early in their training days? I mean training for 12 hours a day is not the same as 6 hours of training in military day. So I am curious to understand why they would dodge it. Also, it wouldn't be in their best interest politically. So maybe they just need to listen to the public instead of the company.

I don't know how things work in Korea, but here, they purposely make military training hell (although the severity varies by branch, with marines getting the worst of it.) They break you down as a person so they can rebuild you in the military's image of what you should be. So if idol training is somehow worse than -- or even comparable to -- military training in Korea, then there's something seriously wrong with both systems. 

That said, these guys shouldn't be trying to dodge something all other Korean men have to go through just because they're entertainers. It would be different if it were optional for everyone else, but it's not, so it shouldn't be optional for them.

Working for any korean company is similar to being in the military somehow. When I was over there for work, my division worked 12 hours and had even prepared 6 months work for me. We will never know military is work harder than idol training, but what I have heard so far isn't great either. 10 hours  of training of vocals and dance and than media, combined with a diet as well. It could be that military is worse like you described, but do you honestly think BTS would go through the same as others?
