Military · SeoulBTS might still be able to perform overseas while serving in South Korea's military, according to the country's defense minister. All South Korean men between the ages of 18-28 are required to serve in the nation's military for at least 18 months. In 2018, the nation passed a revision of the Military Service Act that allowed K-pop stars to postpone their military service until they turn 30.
