SEOUL, Sept 22 — Sunghee Hwang K-pop powerhouse BTS didn’t get one, star footballer Son Heung-min did. South Korea grants limited exemptions from military service and for the first time, eSports players can earn one.
Typically granted to elite athletes or classical musicians on the basis of promoting national prestige, the exemptions are highly sought after.They are also controversial. Two members, Jin and J-Hope, are currently serving in the military and another, Suga, is due to enlist today, according to their agency Hybe.
“The benefit of exemptions from military service is important because it can be another huge motivation booster for players apart from the pride of representing their country.”
