The subject of BTS‘ military enlistment remains a hot topic, and now, an executive from their agency is speaking out.

Chris Willman Music WriterFor BTS’ upcoming run of stadium shows in Las Vegas, the septet will be down to… six and a half? Or maybe the math won’t work out exactly that way, but Big Hit has announced to fans that Jin’s participation in the four Allegiant Stadium shows will be scaled back, despite his “strong wish” to “participate in the performance in full.”The limited expectations being set for his part of the proceedings are due to the same finger injury that kept Jin from being as active as the other six members in the performance by BTS at the Grammys Sunday.Said the statement from Big Hit on Friday: “As we informed you on March 19, Jin had injured his left index finger as the tendons in the finer had been partially damaged and underwent surgery to repair the extensor in the finger. It was the opinion of the medical personnel that Jin should refrain from vigorous movement as any impact on his finger due to the amount of activities increased more than necessary, while he is still recovering from the injury, may cause another surgery.” Bit Hit continued, “While the artist himself strongly wished to participate in the performance in full, our company has decided to follow physician advice and minimize Jin’s movements during the ‘BTS Permission to Dance on Stage – Las Vegas’ concerts” on April 8-9 and 15-16.
