BTS Starts Military Service

All seven members of the group are to fulfill their mandatory duties to South Korea - which ask all able-bodied men to serve for 18 to 21 months before their 31st birthday - with oldest member Jin set to be the first to enlist this month, ahead of his 30th birthday in December. An announcement from Big Hit Music stated: "He will then follow the enlistment procedure of the Korean government. "Other members of the group plan to carry out their military service based on their own individual plans. "Both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment."

 

The announcement was made on the band's social media pages in the wake of their free concert to support South Korea's World Expo bid in Busan on Saturday (15.10.22). The statement read: "BIG HIT MUSIC is proud to announce today that the members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfill their military service. "After the phenomenal concert to support Busan's bid for the World Expo 2030, and as each individual embarks on solo endeavors, it's the perfect time and the members of BTS are honored to serve. "Since the creation of BTS over ten years ago, the band has risen to international success, broken records, and catapulted K-Pop into the global stratosphere. "BIG HIT MUSIC has focused to the milestone moment when it would be possible to respect the needs of the country and for these healthy young men to serve with their countrymen, and that's now." It had been thought the group might be exempted from military service under plans put forward by South Korea's Culture, Sports and Tourism minister Hwang Hee, on the grounds they had already served their country through their huge global success, and other exceptional citizens, such as Olympians and classical musicians had been excused. However, the plan was met with opposition from many people who had completed their service and now appears to have been dropped.

Introduction to One Piece

One Piece is a story about Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate captain on a quest to find the legendary treasure known as the One Piece. Luffy gains rubbery powers but loses the ability to swim, and gathers a crew to sail the treacherous Grand Line.

Luffy's Adventure Begins

Luffy starts his adventure in Fushia, inspired by the pirate Red-Haired Shanks. After eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, he gains rubbery powers but loses the ability to swim. Undeterred, he gathers a crew and sets out into the treacherous Grand Line, a sea filled with dangers and mysterious islands.

Challenges and Locations

The crew faces challenges from the World Government, Warlords of the Sea, and powerful pirate captains ruling the New World. They explore thrilling locations like Thriller Bark, Enies Lobby, Skypiea, and Dressrosa.

Encounters and Allies

Along the way, Luffy meets a diverse cast of characters. He recruits:

  • Roronoa Zoro: A skilled swordsman aiming to become the best.
  • Nami: A talented navigator with a tragic past and a dream of mapping the world.
  • Usopp: A sharpshooter and storyteller.
  • Sanji: An expert cook and gentleman.
  • Tony Tony Chopper: A reindeer with a human form.

Alliances and Personal Trials

Throughout their adventure, the crew forms alliances with other pirate crews, creating the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, a formidable force united for freedom. These alliances are crucial in their battles against the Yonko, powerful figures like Big Mom and Kaido.

The Journey's Challenges

The crew faces numerous challenges, including the World Government, the Warlords of the Sea, and the Yonko. They uncover the ancient history of the world, the truth about the Void Century, and the significance of the Poneglyphs, ancient stone tablets leading to the One Piece.

Thrilling Locations Explored

Their journey takes them to thrilling locations like:

  • Thriller Bark: A haunted ship commanded by the eccentric Warlord Gecko Moria.
  • Enies Lobby: The World Government’s stronghold.
  • Skypiea: A floating island in the sky.
  • Dressrosa: A corrupt land ruled by former Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo.

Personal Trials and Determination

However, the crew also faces personal trials. Luffy’s determination clashes with the weight of his captaincy. Zoro pushes his limits while staying true to his honor. Nami seeks vengeance against her tormentor. And in the shadows, the Revolutionary Army plots against the World Government.

Conclusion

Through laughter, tears, and thrilling action, join the Straw Hat Pirates on their unforgettable journey as they chase dreams, forge bonds, and discover the true meaning of freedom. With each victory, the Straw Hat Pirates get closer to Raftel, the treacherous island where the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, supposedly hid the One Piece, said to hold unimaginable wealth, power, and knowledge to reshape the world.
