On betees disbandment...

Formally & legally, the group's official contract with H*be will expire on 2026...

Currently, they are reported to be on an "extended break..." (read: hiatus?)

They are "supposed" to be preparing for a concert in Seoul this coming March...but it seems that there's not much fanfare about it...quite unusual...

Except for uneventful and "silly" posts that most of them individually post on IG... there seems to be not much activities being done collectively by the group... why?

I believe H*be is in a downtrend financially considering the stock performance mostly in the "red" for the past months...

Could it be that the betees disbandment is more of a "slow leak" rather than a "sudden downpour...?"

Could the group even reach the official expiry date of 2026 considering the things that could happen it between?

Here's an article written on the same topic...not too long ago...

Korean military released a statement today that all 1994 liners and idols who are reaching age 30 this year must enlist by the end of the year regardless of birthday and K-media released an article in response including j1n in the list of idols who must enlist this year so I guess bt5 might not get complete exemption if this is the case some of them might not renew in 2026

As per that current development...that means all in the "hyung" line must enlist within the year... 2022

1. Jin 1992
2. Suga 1993
3. Rm 1994
4. Jhope 1994

Only the 3 "maknaes" will be "active" at least in the next 2 years unless they opt to join their hyungs in enlisment this year...

Note:
I think there's an "urgent" need for more military trainings now...considering the current "war posturings" in the Asia Pacific region...not to mention the current tensions in EU involving NATO, Ukraine & Russia...

Allied nations such as US, SK, & Japan...are on the alert...

I don't know if the new laws apply to bt5 too but if not then Rm and Jhope might try to delay till next year but suga and j1n might not be able to especially j1n since he already used his 2 year extension in 2020-21 and since suga is early 1993 liner he can't postpone more than March-April 2023 so we might see them both enlist by the end of the year which leaves maknae line and JH and RM. I think armchairs might have to start thinking about enlistment now
This is the article

Thanks for sharing the article...

Based on the Military Service Act...28 is the reckoning age for the mandatory military service...Hence, those born in 1994 who will be 28 this year must enlist.

However, the special amendment made to defer until age 30 for meritorious reasons, such as an award for Cultural Merit (what betees got) took effect in June 2021, so Jn was able to defer his enlistment until 2022...

...if this amendment is still in effect, then R.em & Jhop can defer until 2024 being awardees of Cultural Merit... Sug can defer at least on or before his 30th bday next year which is just a few months away from Dec 2022...in which case he can opt to join Jn, instead...and enlist together this year...

Whether they like it or not...armees must accept the inevitable...

To be completely honest I think Armchairs and bt5 got clowned by MMA because if 30 years is the cutoff date for them than this new law didn't do much for them most idols can postpone upto 6 months after they are called I know b@ekhyun did it he is 1992 liner like j1n but he enlisted in may last year on his 29th Birthday (30 in korean) Ravi from Vixx probably did it he is 1993 liner should've gone last year but he is still out he will turn 30 in korean age next week still he didn't announce his enlistment yet monsta X's shownu waited till his 29th birthday suho did too so in reality they only earned 1 year of delay which is not much compared to the hype it generated j1n could postpone until December 2021 even without the law

It's still a deferment, however... Any "extra" time is valuable for their job so...

I think H*be is really gunning for an "exemption" for the betees...but the prospects have become more "bleak..."

Even a Grammy win (???) might not do the trick because of the current socio-political climate in SK...

The supposed biggest leverage of betees is its contribution to SK's economic revenues...but in the recent months this has not been significant...considering the current worldwide economic slump due to the "pandemic" (read: scamdemic)...

Uh oh...Meta might shutdown FB and IG services in the entire European Union...

This will have a big impact on H*be's business...especially that betees (individually) are now "more active" on social media, particularly on IG... EU is still a big market...

More than the pandemic the threat from North Korea is real they allowed bt5 to delay the service because covid served as a distraction lowering the tensions between south and north korea for some time but now the pandemic is close to it's end (Hopefully unless we get a new strain) the tensions are rising and the change in presidency will increase the tensions further in these conditions south korean military might make military laws more strict so bt5 might not get an exemption after all

This is why i said that half if not all their so called "childhood memories" or "poor familly" or like sweet gucci said i wanted to became a farmer (for example) Jeon with the "turtle is the one who convinced me of joining" is a straight up lie... not saying all of their words are lie but most of the talk that a is being filmed is fake.

Oh you know I totally didn't care if he really was watching mafia boss xD I just find the edit and crying goat face priceless. So I could imagine the dialogue in body language mode with their stares.
not just this, but the editing of this shipping video are hilarious, especially the analysis ones , what did you need to analyze? a story that's not true

Betees remains to be the strongest "soft power weapon" of SK...

Still the most popular endorsers of the country's tourism industry...
