Here’s why there are no more BTS’ military updates

Fans of K-pop star band BTS across the globe have been wondering why their favourite band is not available on South Korea’s military communications platform called The Camp any longer. The app was officially set up to allow families and friends to communicate with those undertaking military enlistment, through smartphones, and even has a special section for fans to communicate with celebrities serving in the military.

All seven BTS members are currently fulfilling their mandatory military service. However, since December 22, there have been no updates from the K-pop group on the app.

According to South Korean news reports, the unexpected removal occurred due to an Intellectual Property Rights Issue, which arose after a wave of fans flooded the platform demanding frequent updates of BTS members.
