While Taiwanese actor and singer Chu Sung-yi was arrested on charges of avoiding military service, local media and public opinion in Taiwan urged the country's entertainment industry to awaken, referring to the group BTS (BTS).

According to local media reports such as TVBS and Taipei Times on the 1st, Chu Sung-yi was arrested on charges of violating military service.

Chusung is accused of forging medical certificates related to high blood pressure by handing over about 300,000 to 400,000 Taiwanese dollars (about 14 million won to 19 million won) to brokers for exemption from military service. He reportedly admitted the charges during a police investigation.

Earlier in Taiwan, nine celebrities, including actor Wang Daru, and a total of 28 people, including chefs and doctors, were charged with obstruction of military service and forgery of documents. Recently, it has been reported that more than 10 people, including Chusung, have been arrested, expanding the investigation network.

In response, the Taiwanese media strongly criticized the illegal behavior of domestic celebrities, comparing it to the actions of Korean celebrities. In particular, referring to the case of BTS, "The world's top BTS has also fulfilled its defense obligations. We need to learn the responsibility of the Korean entertainment industry," he said.

Meanwhile, BTS joined the army in December 2022, starting with the eldest brother Jin, and was discharged from the military in June last year. Since then, on the 20th of last month, he released his 5th full album, "Arirang," to top the US Billboard main album chart "Billboards 200" and the title song "Swim" to top the Billboard "Hot 100."
