We cant lie – were pretty worried about what were going to do with ourselves when BTS enter the military.

But BTS WORLD are already preparing for the inevitable.

According to reports, Netmarble have an animated edition of the BTS mobile game in the works to compensate for the lack of real-life content when the boys begin their mandatory military service.

BTS WORLD is an interactive game that allows ARMYs to virtually interact with the band via exclusive photos and videos.

However, when the Fake Love singers begin their mandatory military service, no new footage will be able to be filmed while they are away.

According to Herald Business, a special edition began production in July, to service the years that RM, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, Jin, V and Jungkook will be in the military.

Netmarble declined to comment, while a launch date for the apparent animated edition will be decided when the boys enlistment dates are confirmed.

There is compulsory conscription for South Korean men between the ages of 18 and 28, and despite being the biggest boyband in the world, BTS are not exempt.

None of the band have served yet, but with Jin turning 27 in December, he will likely be called up soon.

More: K-Pop

Jin previously told CBS that the boys were fully prepared to be called up: As a Korean, its natural, and someday, when duty calls well be ready to respond and do our best.

However, ARMYs have called for an exemption to be made for the band, considering their services to K-pop and Korean culture.

A statement shared with the Hollywood Reporter from South Korean officials read: It reads: The Ministry of Defence is currently debating with related authorities on improving the current alternate service [programme] in place of conscription, but nothing has been decided as to when a change may take effect.
