BTS singer Jin will reportedly enlist for his mandatory military training on December 13, just nine days after he turns 30. Kim Seokjin recently confirmed that he would likely enlist before the year ends and he has begun the process. He would be the first BTS member to enlist for military training.
According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, Jin is likely to enlist at the recruit training center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do and he will receive the five-week training before being deployed to the frontline unit.
BTS agency Big Hit reacted to the reports and in a statement said, ‘We cannot confirm these details at this time. We ask for your understanding.’
Jin also put out a statement that roughly translates to, ‘There’s the news that I didn’t want to see, but ARMY cannot come to the boot camp, as it could be dangerous and it will be crowded. ARMY I love you.’
BTS ARMY is upset. Many took to Twitter to wish Jin all the best, while others started sharing emotional edits of the vocalist, hoping that he does one more VLive before leaving.
Jin had bid an emotional farewell to ARMY during the Argentina concert in October, where he sang his solo ‘Astronaut’ with Coldplay.
The schedules for the rest of BTS members are not confirmed yet, but the K-pop band is expected to reconvene in 2025.
