How long is the 1.5-year leave that HYBE planned for New Jeans?

A mentioned, "Although I couldn't ask how long the leave would be, Park CEO said right there, 'It takes about a year and a half to recruit Grammy-winning producers, but we're trying to get it done as quickly as possible.' The mothers were talking to each other, 'Since they said it takes a year and a half to recruit a Grammy producer and they're trying to get it done as soon as possible, does that mean the long leave is about that long?'"

Military service shortened, how much will it decrease?

Army: 21 months -> 18 months

Navy: 23 months -> 20 months

Air Force: 24 months -> 22 months

Marines: 21 months -> 18 months

Social service: 24 months -> 21 months

Recruiting the producer alone could take a year and a half. Considering the process of producing the song, it could be longer than a military service period, possibly more than two years. 

*Of course, it's a leave. So it's not the same as military service. 

Even antis expected New Jeans to go on tour, but it turns out that HYBE planned a 1.5-year leave for the girls.

They're even worse than the antis.

-They're planning to send a girl group on a hiatus at the time when they should be making money...

-No seriously, I don't understand. They can kick out Min Heejin just because they don't like her, but they can keep New Jeans for another five years to make money. So why do this?

-It hasn't even been 2 years since they debuted and they're planning to put them on a hiatus for a year and a half. Is this a joke?

-What are HYBE's shareholders doing? Are they seeing this?

-Are they planning to send New Jeans to the military?

-Wow... Are they really going to do that? It might better to terminate contracts and get out.

-Are these girls your toys?? Let them go now

-If I were HYBE's shareholder, I'd be really pissed. Does it make sense for them to put the artists who make money on a hiatus?

-At this point, shouldn't HYBE's shareholders sue Bang Sihyuk for breach of trust? Why put the girls on hiatus when it's time for them to make money?ㅋㅋㅋ

-That's not even a hiatus anymore. It's abandonment.

-This is very upsetting.

-It only has been 1 year and 10 months since the girls debuted. What the hell?

-I feel really sorry for the girls...

-HYBE is really falling apart.
