Jin, the eldest member of the group BTS, shared his emotional state after sending off the youngest member, Jungkook, to the military.
On December 14th, Jin posted on his channel, "I thought it would be funny, but tears came ㅠㅠ," revealing a photo with Jimin and Jungkook. The sentiment was different from when he had sent off RM and V on December 10th, filled with a deeper sense of poignancy.
Previously, on December 11th, RM and V had entered the Nonsan Army Training Center in Chungnam, and on December 12th, Jimin and Jungkook enlisted at the 5th Infantry Division's New Recruit Training Center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, where Jin is currently serving as an instructor.
With this, all members of BTS, except for Suga, who received a social service worker status due to a shoulder injury, have now completed their active duty enlistments.
Jin, who was the first member to enlist in December last year, will be the first to be discharged in June of next year, and by June 2025, all members are expected to have completed their service, making full group activities possible again.
Before enlisting, Jimin shared through the fan platform Weverse, "I think it will be very supportive to enlist with Jungkook. I will do well and return."
Jungkook said, "It has been a really busy life. Thanks to this, I go to the military after having happy activities. I believe the military is a place every man should naturally go."
RM shared, "We hope to live our lives earnestly in our respective places and return with brighter smiles and hearts filled with more casual and genuine emotions. Goodbye for now. See you in the future."
V, who applied for the Special Mission Troop (SMT) of the Military Police of the Capital Defense Command, said, "I know ARMYs are worried, but honestly, I just want to experience it. I have my goals, so you don't need to worry too much."
