Elon Musk threatens to buy BTS

After withdraw from the purchase of Twitter, for which he will go to trial soon, Elon Musk has surprised his followers after announcing in a video posted on Twitter of his intention to acquire South Korean K-Pop group BTS.

I want to buy BTS. They are very popular. What do you think, armed?”, expressed the owner of Tesla and SpaceX in a sequence that was published by the account KoreanFactor. The army to which he refers is the name used by the most faithful followers of the band. The cost of the transaction could cost Elon Musk approximately 36,000 million dollars.

BTS is the most successful group within the K-Pop musical phenomenon, as evidenced by its great track record in the international market. And it is that J-Hope, RM, Jin, Suga, V, Jimin and Jeon Jung-kook; supported by the record labels Big Hits and Universal Japan Geffen, they stood out with nine awards at the American Music Awards and have been nominated for awards given by the major music networks. They even went on to represent South Korea in the United Nations General Assembly.

At the expense of military service

The progression of the band, on the other hand, could be slowed down if the South Korean government forces them to do compulsory military service. In a case similar to that of the Tottenham footballer Heung-Min Son, there could be the possibility that artists are exonerated for their national prestige. It should be remembered that Son avoided 21 months in the army thanks to his team’s triumph in the Asian Gamesso he just had to be there three weeks.

To make a final decision, according to the newspaper TimeDefense Minister Lee Jong-sup has called on lawmakers to hold a assessment of the positive and negative aspects of whether or not the seven members of BTS do military service. According to the politician, the evaluation will be carried out by third parties who have nothing to do with the authorities.

Historically, South Korea has granted special permits to athletes, classical musicians and dancers, but not to stars who excel in other sound styles.. 60% of the population, according to the aforementioned media, supports allowing them not to go to the army.
