Notably, the unit is recognised for its crucial role in maintaining military discipline and safety.

Amidst the swirling reports, BIGHIT MUSIC issued a brief statement emphasising their inability to verify any information regarding the specific duties and assignments of the BTS members during their military service. The management urges fans and the public to await official confirmation before drawing conclusions.
