Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefKorea lawmakers on Tuesday completed passage of an amendment to existing legislation and will allow some K-pop stars exemption from military service until they are 30.

The significance was not lost on fans of BTS, currently one of the biggest music acts in the world, but whose band members would have soon been forced to enlist.The bill revising the Military Service Act was introduced in September, after BTS became the first-ever South Korean group to top the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with single “Dynamite.” The band last week also earned a first Grammy nomination.Under the previous iteration of the law, all able bodied men in Korea are obliged to sign up before their 28th birthday.
