EXO Kai unexpectedly enlist in the military... Military Manpower Administration says, 'Postponement of enlistment can only be delayed up to 5 times'

 

EXO's Kai has announced that he will be enlisting next week, raising curiosity about the military service law related to his enlistment. 

A representative from the Military Manpower Administration stated, "The postponement of the enlistment date for those who are about to fulfill their military service is possible up to 5 times within a range of 2 years." The official explained, "Among the reasons for postponing enlistment, 'other reasons' can also be applied up to two times, which is included in the total of 5 postponement chances." 

On the 3rd, SM Ent. announced, "Kai was preparing for EXO's comeback that is scheduled for this year, but due to recent changes in military regulations, he will be entering the training center on May 11th to receive basic military training before fulfilling his duty as a social service worker."

Kai was preparing for EXO's comeback to celebrate their 11th debut anniversary this year. However, both Kai and his fans were caught off guard when he suddenly had to enlist next week. According to the military service law explained by an official, it seems that Kai has used up all of the five possible postponement chances, including for overseas performances and other schedules.

-This is his company's mistake. SM is so stupid.

-This is clearly the company's mistake. Kai is a '94 liner, he's already at the age to enlist. The company should've foreseen this, especially if they have already used up all the chances to postpone his enlistment.

-The company should take care of its artists, especially since they gain money from them. Isn't that the reason why companies exist in the first place?

-I'm sure Kai himself knew that he had already used all the chances to postpone his enlistment. He could get notified to enlist anytime now and he wasn't prepared at all, isn't that so careless of him? It's true that the company's plan may have been faulty as well, though.

-1) Kai has never said that he didn't want to enlist. 2) Kai has never talked bad about SM Ent. 3) Kai knew he was going to have to enlist soon. 4) The reason why Kai cried = It's been 5 years since EXO had a full-group comeback and fans have been eagerly waiting for it. However, now that Kai is unexpectedly enlisting, he won't be able to show fans everything he's prepared for. He cried because he felt sorry for his fans. 5) The reason why fans are angry at SM = There are two members born in 1994 in EXO and the two of them are enlisting soon, but the company didn't have any plans and just delayed their comeback date. Got it? They were supposed to comeback earlier this year.

-Why are people blaming Kai? Do they think Kai can just make a comeback whenever he wants? Those who say that he's careless and should've taken care of everything himself are not making any sense. It's not like he did this on purpose. I'm not a fan but I'm sure Kai's fans are already upset enough by the news...

-I was wondering why people are so angry to hear this... Turns out it's because EXO won't be able to comeback as a full-group if he enlists. The company should've released EXO's comebacks sooner since they have members who are born in 1994 and could enlist to the military anytime now...

K-pop is in 'New-I-LE' era now ... New Jeans-IVE-LE SSERAFIM Syndroma




'New-I-LE is the coined term that K-Pop fans use to refer to the top 3 girl groups of the 4th Gen: New Jeans, IVE, LE SSERAFIM. They are not just simply considered the top 4th Gen K-pop girl groups, but they are also bringing a shock to the industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are leading this new scene with tremendous power. 

First of all, their achievements on domestic music charts. New Jeans wrote a new history by staying at #1 for 99 days with 'Ditto' on Melon, the largest music streaming platform in Korea. IVE has been dominating the top of various music charts, including Melon, for a month, with their title track 'I AM' and pre-release track 'KITSCH'. LE SSERAFIM is also making an impact on the music charts with the title track from their first full album released on the 1st of this month, 'Unforgiven'. 

Above all, these groups are expected to last long as they have messages that are not easily volatile. New Jeans show the truth about how all generations can move forward together by having a common understanding of the past. IVE demonstrates how self-love can be elevated to an iconic level. LE SSERAFIM shows the ambition to break through and move forward against difficulties and prejudices. These sincere messages are resonating with many people. 



-The whole world is crazy for New Jeans and IVE

-I think (G)I-DLE, ITZY, and Aespa are in the 3.5th Gen and IVE, LE SSERAFIM, and New Jeans are in the 4th Gen...

-I really enjoy listening to these three groups' songs... 

-New Jeans is the only rookie group here... I feel like the rest are the spin-off of IZONE...

-I love 'New-I-Le'. I'm always looking forward to these three groups...

-I somehow feel like Aespa is in the 3.5th Gen, not 4th Gen because I feel like they debuted way before these three groups...? I'm not a fan, but I agree that 'New-I-Le' are the trend these days...

-It's funny how people said Aespa opened the door for the 4th Gen when they released 'Next Level' and now they're saying that Aespa is in the 3.5th Gen...? 

-It's ridiculous how some people question LE SSERAFIM when they're actually that popular...

-I agree, because 'New-I-LE' were really impactful last year. Besides, I feel like ITZY and Aespa are in the 3.5th Gen.

-Why are you guys fighting?

-I think people are grouping these three because they debuted in the similar period of time... Aren't you guys tired of always fighting?

https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/382/0001049553 


On the 4th, KLAP Ent. announced that they had signed a 3-year contract for the production, promotion, and management of VANNER, the winner of JTBC 'Peak Time'. 

Previously, KLAP Ent. launched a global fandom platform, 'Universe', in July 2020. This year, the company changed its name to KLAP Ent.

theqoo

-What was Vanner's previous company?

-Guys, the contract is just for their management! They are under VT Ent.

-They're not changing company, it's just a contract for their management! Their company is managed by the CEO and the members. If I'm not wrong, the CEO has been doing part-time jobs as well. Anyway, the leader, Taehwan has also been in charge of the company's work (such as managing social media and official fan clubs), that's why his nickname is 'Ten Jobs'!. Anyway, congratulations, Vannerㅠㅠㅠ

-Congratulations!! Taehwan can focus on being an idol now...

-I heard they only hired external managers and rented cars only when they have schedules because they don't have one... It's such a reliefㅠㅠㅠ

-Congratulations!! I wonder how they distribute their profit in this case...

-Does that mean they were signed under a different company then?? Did they have to terminate their contract with their previous company?

-Whoa... This is such a reliefㅠㅠㅠ

-Oh Gosh... I'm literally tearing up right nowㅠㅠ I'm so glad to hear this, boysㅜㅜㅜ

-Their leader finally doesn't have to work part-time now!! That's really great news!!

-Congratulations on only having one job now, Taehwanㅠㅠ Also congratulations to the rest of the members, they don't have to work part-time nowㅜㅜ
