Members of the K-pop phenomenon BTS will serve in the military starting with the oldest member, Jin, HYBE announced in a corporate filing Monday.
 
“BTS member Jin will cancel his plan for military deferment by the end of October and will follow through with the enlistment process set by Military Manpower Administration,” the agency said. “Other members will follow suit.”
