A former employee of BigHit expressed shock at Namjoon’s remarks, highlighting potential internal issues. The employee suggested that if the members of BTS had chosen to enlist individually rather than together, their enlistment timeline and post-discharge activities could have already been established. While the company likely hoped for simultaneous enlistment, they couldn’t reach an agreement. As the group should be preparing for a world tour after military service, they face ongoing challenges, including issues with NewJeans and CEO Min, legal matters regarding Bang’s IPO, and the promotion of new groups like CORTIS. It appears BTS feels increasingly sidelined amid these developments. The company relies heavily on the chairman’s confirmation, essential for its operations. The original seven members, being central to the company’s revenue, are crucial, yet it is noted that many dedicated employees have left, leaving mostly executives engaged in politics.
