While many people believe that BTS's m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ enlistment is a disadvantage to the group as well as affecting other issues in ḳöŕệän society. But this period of time seems to have proven that even when BTS was in the army, no gap was created.
Although BTS is still diligently training in the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷, they are still leading trends, achieving achievements and receiving great attention. In particular, since joining the army, BTS members have received a lot of love from soldíєrs in the army, and even high-ranking officials have become their fans.
In a video of a retired ḳöŕệän army Lieutenant General, he surprisingly expressed his admiration for a BTS member:
People always talk a lot about how BTS affects the public around the world when active and how big a void will be left when they enlist. However, this only happens when there is no preparation and BTS is ready for this, so they show that even when they join the army, they are the name that takes the spotlight every day.
From releasing documentaries, releasing new songs to collaborating with many other artists or brand ambαѕѕadors.... There seems to be no gap in the time the members serve in the boot camp because they had prepared their projects before enlisting.
Therefore, BTS's enlistment is sometimes not a period of downtime or negative impact. It even shows a positive side and makes BTS receive even more love from the public. Among them are special new fans, typically the Lieutenant General in the story below.
Mr. Jeon In Beom is a retired ḳöŕệän army Lieutenant General. For someone who is used to the strict, disciplined m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ environment as well as the large generation gap between him and BTS, it seems difficult to make the Lieutenant General understand new generation idols. But on the contrary, ever since Jungkook joined the army and he started learning about him, he became a big and pαѕѕionate fan.
He said about this on his video: “I have decided to become a fan of Jungkook of BTS from now on... I think I will have to work hard to support him enthusiastically even after his discharge.”
This probably comes from the fact that he witnessed many positive changes in the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ system recently, since BTS joined the army. Thanks to that, new recruits also have better living conditions in the barracks and the influence of Jungkook in particular and BTS in general helps encourage the spirit of voluntary enlistment among ḳöŕệän citizens.
When witnessing a retired ḳöŕệän army Lieutenant General clearly declaring about joining the ARMY fandom, fans couldn't help but feel proud and excited:
