Jin has been serving in the army for almost a week, but stories about his enlistment date are still being talked about much later. People are not only impressed by a top K-pop star enlisting in the military in silence, but also by the way he treats his fellow soldiers.
Not only was he praised by the media, but now Jin also impresses the family members of the rookies who joined the army with him. A mother whose son enlisted in the same unit as Jin told the story of how she witnessed his good personality on the day of his enlistment.
Not only this mother, but others have had a very good impression of Jin.
On December 13, Jin officially enlisted at the training center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province. This is one of the harshest areas in Korea, sometimes the temperature drops to -20 degrees Celsius, so ARMYs as well as members are extremely worried about his health and remember him.
Joining the army with Jin, nearly 200 recruits also enlisted at this training camp. On the day Jin enlisted in the army, there were many media reports about the BTS superstar paving the way for the group's new era. Even AFP, CNN, Reuters, BBC... were also present in front of the barracks.
However, one thing they didn't expect was that the ARMYs didn't show up as crowded as they had imagined to see off Jin. It was said that because Jin is an idol with a nice personality, when he asked ARMYs not to come see him off to avoid dangerous situations, ARMYs obeyed.
They sent him off from afar with loving hearts and waited for his return in 1 year and 6 months. This also surprised the families of soldiers who enlisted on the same day as Jin.
According to a mother whose son enlisted in the army on the same day as Jin, she recounted that her family was very worried and arranged to go to the barracks early when they heard about there would be crowd at news of BTS member enlistment. But on the contrary, everyone Everything is quiet, no screaming fans or crowds, jostling.
Even inside the barracks, everything was very stable and orderly. She was very surprised to see that Jin was very organized. He sat quietly with his family on the family bench attentively. Only when all the other soldiers had finished lined up did he enter the line silently. So no one knew when he was there.
In addition, the soldier's mother was also surprised to see Jin's appearance in real life. She said all she said was the real review from all parents there. They was surprised because he was tall and had small face and looked like baby and young. Her son is 178cm and has good physique. But they was surprised Jin so tall.
She also omitted a bit of information that she was informed from the military about the increase in the amount of training time for Jin and his teammates in the same division. Contrary to what is known, training period is 6weeks, not 5weeks. Cell phone use is absolutely prohibited during this period. After 6weeks, they can video call with family and friends every day. People who have lived in groups such as dormitories and sports clubs will adapt well. However, Others have hard time living completely cut off from outside world during this period.
She also claimed with the knowledge about BTS that Seokjin lived in dorm for long time and lived under lot of privacy restrictions outside. But now she knew he would have hard time, but she hoped he would find happy feeling with her son and other trainees.
That shows that Jin's good personality shines everywhere and people should always be impressed with what he does, whether as an idol or as a citizen performing a soldier's duty. He really is a great person for ARMYs to listen to and imitate his good personality
