Admitting Being Scolded For Delaying His Enlistment, Jin Received Hate For This Reason

BTS's enlistment is receiving special attention after the members announced that they would enlist in turn starting with Jin. Even so, it seems that haters still haven't given up on taking this issue to create blacklash for the members.

Recently, after Jin's sharing about his enlistment, he received some criticism for his enlistment plans. Many netizens believe that those who misrepresent Jin's story have pushed things too far when in fact the original story is not like that.

Specifically, the story comes from a live broadcast on Weverse with fans on the occasion of the release of the first solo song "The Astronaut". On this occasion, Jin also directly told ARMY about the group's enlistment for the first time, decided to cancel the request to postpone the enlistment, and he knew that BTS was scolded a lot for being late for the service.

Jin's live broadcast implies that the group's military service plans have changed in the past 2 years. Jin initially revealed that the members discussed their plans to enlist right after the album BE. However, that summer, along with the wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and the song Dynamite reached number 1 on the Billboard chart. Due to the unexpected success, the events that followed made it impossible for BTS to enlist at that time

After Dynamite received strong support, BTS thought it best to release Butter and Permission To Dance for fans. Jin said, “Since these two songs did so well, I really don’t think this is the right time to enlist. After that, I had to participate in the group’s concerts before starting my military service. I also told the members that if I enlist, I will miss the stage performances.”

After that, BTS was invited to the Grammy and Jin decided to enlist after this big event. However, the next story that Jin told was distorted. That's when Jin said he was planning to enlist this summer or fall after finishing the group's work, but the members held him back to hold the last concert for fans before enlistment.

But some haters took advantage of this saying of Jin in Korean and translated it into English and some other languages ​​misleadingly to make Jin criticized. Hater said that Jin didn't enlist early because he didn't like the cold weather and enlisting at that time would be very tiring so he wanted to enlist in the hot season.

Obviously, it was a story that was told by Jin realistically but his misrepresentation of his words got him badly criticized. Many people think that Jin disregards his obligations to the country, treating his enlistment as "going on vacation":

- "Are you afraid of the heat and cold in the army?"

- “Must respect the fans. but disregard the wave of anger of the Korean people.”

- "Many male idols who have wives and children have served in the army but you have postponed 100 times with many reasons"...

This is completely wrong what Jin said. In fact, he actually said: "I was talking with the members saying it would be good if I can go in summer or during fall, but the members told me to just to do this concert and go cause for the first time in so long we are having a concert in Korea with cheers. So I really thought about it, do I go to the military in the season I want or do this as courtesy for ARMYs?"

As we all see, right after April a series of events occurred in a row that changed the schedule and finally, Jin had to postpone until the end of this December to enlist in the army. Jin also shared the late announcement with fans for fear that ARMYs would be sad and tearful during the last concert, so he chose to announce it that way.

As Jin said, he knew that BTS didn't announce their plans to enlist early, so he had to face a lot of unfair criticism. But the members didn't want ARMY to be too sad because of it, so they chose to suffer for a long time so that ARMY could enjoy the last concert with complete joy.

The weather, the ministry of defense, the government or any other reason never influenced Jin and BTS's decision to enlist. It's the ARMY who make them consider important life decisions:

- Haters gonna Hate......regardless BTS has "supercharged" their countries economy and increased the influx of visitors benefitting all of their people INCLUDING THESE PEOPLE WHO CANT SHUT UP. Talk about people you PERSONALLY know and LEAVE JIN ALONE!!!!

- Just leave our sweet humble honorable super handsome Jin alone!!!… he owes no explanation to anyone and he was forced in the end to make his own decisions to drop this additional exemption!!!… I love him and the entire group for being the proud S Korean men that they ultimately are!!!!… go hate on yourselves!!!

- Jin could only do it when it was right for the company and BTS. Was there going to be a right time NEVER! These 7 young men have done so much to promote their country, culture and showed the WORLD!! We will be waiting on the other side for our Forever7!

- I believe there is always those who can not stand to see some one else succeed, that’s a hater! But Jin has given us his beautiful message of Love and Hope, us being the whole world of people, now 48 hours after making headlines he will be bypassed for the tragedy in Itaewon!!!!! Because it makes the news

- You did a great decision Jin, you held it for a long time, thank you for considering ARMY in every step you and members make and for that you only deserve nothing nothing but the best.Better late than never.? You're not doing it because of anti-fans but because of your country.Do it for the people of Korea.We'll wish and pray for your new journey.Borahae!

- He did what he did without infringing any rules. So he did nothing wrong when he postponed many times his date of enlistment. Those people who negatively critisized him were the ones who are wrong.

- Jin he’s going to do what’s best for him he’s going to do with his schedule and also what is better for him in the long run. You make great decisions be proud of what decision that you made and don’t worry about what others say and believe me, he’s not worried about whether say he’s a good guy he’s sweet he’s loving his caring. sometimes the heat is just heat for no reason but sometimes I wish I could be in his place. Keep on doing what you’re doing. I’m proud of you and I’m proud of your decisions that you make for you and your future.
