BTS military service update: BigHit Music requests fans to not send gifts to military barracks

<p>All members of BTS, including Jin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook, have officially started their mandatory military service in South Korea. Their enlistment has ignited global interest, particularly regarding the demanding military training procedures they will undergo, which includes the gas chamber, the obstacle course and the gruelling marches.</p>

<p>One of the most rigorous challenges in South Korea's military training is the gas chamber challenge, known as the Hwasaengbang.</p>

<p>The Hwasaengbang gained public attention through its appearance on shows like <em>Real Men</em> and <em>Infinite Challenge</em>, which showed soldiers enduring intense exercises in a gas-filled room without masks. Some struggled with the tasks, leading to instances of fainting.</p>

<p>With each BTS member now enlisted, speculation arises regarding whether they will all undergo this rigorous training. Earlier images of Jin at the Hwasaengbang camp depict soldiers practising in an actual gas chamber. A picture shows Jin washing his face, a common post-training routine.</p>

<p>Since Suga has been deemed "unfit for regular combat duty" and has been chosen to serve as a social service agent in the South Korean military, he won't have to go through the gas chamber training, however, other remaining members might soon begin the rigorous training in their country.</p>

<p>Japanese media outlet Nippoin News Network reacted to South Korea's tough military practices, mentioning that BTS members need to complete various training, including entering gas-filled rooms without masks.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, several netizens from South Korea who have undergone the task during their military service recently took to social media to share their experiences online.</p>

<p>A netizen wrote, “It's a CBR (chemical, biological + radiological) and a grenade drill. They put on a gas mask to enter and exit a gas chamber. It's part of the training programme.” Another one said “Yeah, I was medically retired a few years ago. Trust me, if I could go through the gas chamber in basic training and be fine and sure Jin will be more than okay.”</p>

<p>A third post read, "I'm pretty sure he is not gotta want us to see him go through it. As someone who has gone through military training, it really sucks. He will have to go through combat and weapons training and go through the gas chamber. Hopefully, he doesn't have to get pepper sprayed too.”</p>

<p>The members of BTS, the globally acclaimed K-pop sensation, find themselves at a crossroads as all members of the band have now embarked on their mandatory military service in South Korea. This decision, confirmed by their agency, BigHit Music, owned by HYBE, last October, has significant implications for the future trajectory of the boy band and its individual members.</p>

<h2><strong>Mandatory military service</strong></h2>

<p>The initiation of this mandatory military service became apparent when Jin, the eldest member of BTS, enlisted in December 2022. Now, the remaining members, including lead vocalist Jung Kook, are following suit, adhering to the legal requirement for all able-bodied South Korean men aged 18-28 to serve in the military. The obligation, ranging between 18 and 21 months, is deeply ingrained in South Korean society, and is viewed as a rite of passage for young men.</p>

<p>Consequence.net's Mary Siroky wrote about the film, "Whether pressing play as a longtime fan of BTS or someone curious about the buzzy headliner at last year’s Lollapalooza, j-hope IN THE BOX is a deeply rewarding look at the creative process for one of the biggest artists around.
