BTS is currently on hiatus as a group to pursue personal travels and musical projects and also due to the mandatory military enlistment of its members. Jin and J-Hope have already commenced their service, and recently, Suga announced his upcoming enlistment. Amid these developments, Sung Il Jong, a representative of South Korea's dominant political party, proposed the idea of having BTS grace the stage at the beleaguered 25th World Scout Jamboree.

According to Korean media outlets, the World Scout Jamboree has been plagued with poor management overflowing trash bins, bug-infested fields to dirty toilers. On August 8, Sung Il Jong reached out to the Korean Ministry of Defense, suggesting the inclusion of BTS members, even those in military service, for a special performance aimed at uplifting the spirits of the Jamboree attendees.
