If football star Son Heung-min can score an exemption from South Korea's mandatory military service, fans of BTS are adamant that the seven members of the boy band should enjoy that privilege too.

Mr Lee Nam-woo, chief of the ministry's personnel welfare office, said:"We believe military duty will not hurt popular performers so critically that they cannot perform anymore ." Currently, exemptions are given to those who win gold at the Asian Games or any medal at the Olympics, and classical artists who excel at designated competitions.
