Hypothyroidism is not a big deal if he take his medicine aka the hormone that he is lacking for some reason , so it's up to the cause that can make it a more serious deal cuz when is autoimmune cause can came with other autoimmune illnesses but as you see he can do all what he was doing, I don't think he has other issue. But who knows. But with according with the lack of information that is public , he should be ok to be part of the military , ofc with his medicine and proper diet.

[@allons_y1001]

In regards to the military service... if they cannot be exempt entirely, then they should negotiate the amount of time down to like 6 months. They all enlist at the same time, go thru basic training so they're trained in at least that... and then they're back to serving their country in the way they are best at in no time at all, rather then taking them off the playing field for two years at such a critical point of their influence on the global stage. This way it eases the minds of those who think they shouldn't be exempt (at least in part) and minimizes the damage of them being gone.

When Bang pd said he wanted to eliminate/ reduce the middleman he wasn’t kidding "The music industry is one-fourth or one-fifth of the entertainment industry. So why is that? I noticed that there must be some sort of a leakage in the value chain. There was something there that was not being captured, and I felt that [we] should be able to sustain [artists’] revenues. Their primary work is making music, and they need to be able to make a sustainable living. So we felt we needed to scale up the entire [Big Hit] business". - Bang Si-Hyuk

I think it's amazing that HYBE (The house that Bang PD and BTS built) has really shaken up the music industry in both Korea & the West even though the western media downplays it. For years the western music industry has been ignoring BTS calling them a "phenomenon" (which implies a fad with no lasting power). BTS didn't just create a seat for themselves at the table in Western music, they bought part of the "table". In an article written by Lainey Gossip, The key to understanding this deal is to recognize that HYBE isn't getting into the western market by playing the western game. They made it clear on that they are bring HYBE's playbook to the west. The model of artist investment and development that BTS and HYBE perfected is the way of the future and Ithaca's sale TO HYBE is a sign of that (It's not the other way around). The rollout is already showing evidence of this with the 10 minute video released today which Chairman Bang, SB and Scott B made remarks, then artist like BTS, Seventeen, J Balvin, Demi Lovato & Justin Bieber makes appearances. Korean artists are use to greeting messages videos but western artists rarely do. HYBE practice of sharing corporate information to the public via video messages is also rare in business! Will it all work? Maybe, maybe some of it, but watching the growth and journey of BTS, HYBE (Big Hit) has never been boring and is an adventure worth following!

i'm actually worried about Baekhyun doing service work for the next 1 1/2 years. i believe it would be better (safer) for him to do 'normal' service. if i remember correctly Yang Yoseob of Highlight did also serve as a service worker and was harrassed by fans at work to a point were he had to beg them to stop. they found out about his work places shared them online and showed up taking photos and hindering his and his collegues work. Baekhyun will experience this as well.

[@shuangshuangguo]

Service worker has many different jobs, he maybe just sit in the office, doesn’t necessarily need to show up in the public just like suho

[@laurelcreagh9419]

After learning about Baekhyun's news the other day, this made me have a new perspective about just how great of a performer he is and the level of work ethic he must have because I also personally have hypothyroidism. The thyroid is the gland that regulates your metabolism, so when you have hypothyroidism you may typically suffer from symptoms like feeling tired both physically and mentally, gain weight uncontrollably, experience feeling tingly or numb, and have problems with your skin and nails. The symptoms vary from person to person and people can get the condition under control so they can then feel well and do more things. Usually once you are diagnosed, you take a hormone replacement pill every day. Of course, I don't know how Baekhyun has personally felt with this condition, but hope that if people learn a little bit about this condition, then they might be a little more sympathetic.

[@noniLaus]

Interesting that in Korea the civil service has such a bad stigma, since in my country it’s the exact opposite. The military service for males is mandatory as well, but you can choose between regular duty and civil service regardless of if you get classified as unfit or not - in fact, it is acutally _wanted_ that many people choose civil service, since we need those workers to cover the lack of staff in elderly care and other care related jobs. But we are also a neutal country that doesn't have a certain dictatorship in our neck...

Okay y’all hear me out. Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism are both different thyroid related disorders that entail different symptoms Baekhyun has the former. Keep in mind that BBH is a huge asset to EXO and SM and the Kpop industry as a whole . His health will naturally be their priority. Just because Baekhyun has the will power to keep on performing despite of his physical health doesn’t mean he’s obligated to diminish his physical well-being in every situation. He’s never vied for anyone’s sympathy at any point. If people are frustrated then there must be other cases towards which their feelings are valid, but Beakhyun doesn’t deserve to be the subject of their frustration.

Anyone that pays any attention would know that there have been a lot of hints about Baekhyun’s health. SuperM members especially have let hints out. They have talked about the swelling of his face and ears, and they have said that he doesn’t sleep well. Baekhyun himself has talked about how he gets tired easily and how he gets cold easily. And both EXO members and SuperM members have said that when he is done practicing he is done, you can’t do that in the military. Baekhyun is also very aware of what is said about him and he wouldn’t go out of his way to do something that he Knows is going to get him negative press. At least IMO. I don’t personally know him so I can only go by what I have seen. I prefer NOT to suspect the worst of people though with no evidence.

[@Icannotbelieve693]

@@Taeallday802 No, not really most idols you hear about how much they practice, not that they have developed the ability to be able to learn choreography for a dance in one session just by watching it being done and then practicing as long as he can till he feels he can’t go on longer. I have also never heard Any other idol tell his fans to not buy the album to buy a warm coat instead, that is how much cold bothers him. The reason he has been exempted though is because he has to take medication everyday for his condition, not just at flare ups. The plain fact is we don’t know what their real lives are like and fans of other groups should think about that before they start hating on other groups. This is why the fan wars go on.

Baekhyun has been treated for this for YEARS. He sent in his medical information and had a medical statement so there should be NO criticism at all for that. 🙄

[@mev9752]

Hypothyroidism is not a big deal if he take his medicine aka the hormone that he is lacking for some reason , so it's up to the cause that can make it a more serious deal cuz when is autoimmune cause can came with other autoimmune illnesses but as you see he can do all what he was doing, I don't think he has other issue. But who knows. But with according with the lack of information that is public , he should be ok to be part of the military , ofc with his medicine and proper diet.

@@mev9752 I’m on leave from work for a month due to an autoimmune disease so I wouldn’t say it isn’t a big deal. If he really does have one, I can tell you there are ups and downs to it. You feel okay then you feel like hot garbage.

[@ThennaryNak]

@@mev9752 It is more the fact that he has a condition that requires daily medication than how much it affects him. You have to remember that soldiers are trained to be out in the field and be on battle grounds so if you have medication you need to take to treat a condition that will be seen as a liability in those situations by itself not even taking in to account the symptoms of the condition. So it makes sense he would not be allowed for active duty, as his condition may mean daily medication as well as regular blood tests throughout the year to make sure he is getting the correct dosage as that can change.

[@Cintia001]

Baekhyun himself confirmed share his medical records with dispatch and allowed them to disclose it.

[@alengtoyang5332]

i think there are other idols just like GD who is more popular and richer than baekhyun. and I also think he tried his best to be exempted or not have an active military duty but in the end he still went to the field. so i believe baekhyun's health is really valid to be a public servant rather than being in the field most importantly is that he will serve the nation whatever he can. and i think it is the nation or the officials fault if they are swayed with money from those chaebols. well i hope that Korea's higher up will see this so that they will be aware of these situation and will not be unfair to those others who also deserved to be exempted from the active duty.

That's so sad about Park Soo Hong but it just goes to show how important financial literacy is. Even if it's a close friend or family member who's looking over your finances, you should make sure they're professionals and still always keep track of your OWN finances yourself.

[@Mello_Loves_Mujin]

What’s happening to Park Soohong happened to my family as well. When my great-grandmother died we were told that she had left no money behind(died while in the red). So we would receive no money. Well as it turns out, my uncle had totally emptied her account with the help of my grandma. Our great-grandmother had Alzheimer’s so they went to a bank a couple cities away every week to make her get the money (this way it would actually look like she was doing it). Now my mother and her other brother have been living on so little money, just trying to stay alive. While my uncle and grandma are living it big in Spain. We’ve sued them when it came out, but it’s been years already and nothing is moving forward, I hope that the money will be more than the lawyer’s costs.. Also grandma, uncle if you’re reading this, f-you.

[@astronaurrr]

When BTS went to billboard first time, many said what Asians are doing at American award function and now see them owning one of the biggest American company/label (?). This is the personification of "from zero to own hero". BTS & BH started with debt company and now they're one of the biggest company/label who soon will come big 3 of world. I love how BH is expanding and taking risk. Success is all about risk. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALLED WORLD DOMINATION. I've never imagined American artist under Asian company but you see where we are. Hard work always paid off if you do worth sincerity and passion. BTS and BH are really big example of hard working paid off. Both trusting each other lead to this. There were many obstacles, people try to bring them down but here we are. I'm seriously so proud of them. Many Armys who are in business profession said it's a very big move my BH and the fact it will not affect any artists artistry and independecy is very big thing.

When I found that Baekhyun has hypothyroidism still he maintained his busy schedule promoting EXO, SuperM and his solo career my respect towards him increased thousand times. Since military exempted him from active duty they found solid medical evidences for his health condition. Is it that easy to use loopholes to produce oneself in poor health condition to avoid active military duty in S Korea? If that is the case many prominent idols / actors would have used these loopholes? Right? Koreans know better.
