According to a survey, 73.2% of the Korean population believe that BTS should enlist.

Most of the Koreans are against BTS being excused from mandatory military duties.

The South Korean government was previously criticized for canceling an opinion poll on the same issue.

According to a poll, that was conducted by a specialized research company JOWON C&I on September 4, 54.1% of those 1001 participating voted that BTS should not be exempted from their military duties. While, 40% of voters believed that the group should be excused.

Shockingly, most of the voters who voted that BTS should enlist was in their 20s. 73.2% of voters in their 20s voted that the group should enlist. Whereas, following them were voters in their 30s (60.4%), 40s (49.4%), 50s (48.3%), and over 60s (47.5%).

Also, overwhelmingly both mem and women voted in favor of the group enlisting, with 58% of men and 50.3% of women voting for recruitment.

Well, for political ties among voters, 63.8% of conservative voters voted in favor of the group’s enlistment, followed by 52.3% of centrists and 47.3% of progressives.

Discussions regarding the boy-band’s enlistment are boiling within political spheres as BTS member Jin will soon face enlistment. Many leaders think that pardon should be granted for the group, but the current government, which faces record low approval ratings, has been non-committal on the issue, already said that they would “heed public opinion.”
