An ARMY Faces Against Serious Risk While Updating BTS’s Military Status

Over the past year and a half, ARMYs have been watching BTS members enlist and of course, always waiting for their news to be updated. Aside from the rare members' personal accounts being active, the only way fans can follow them is through The Camp.

However, a surprising problem happened to a foreign fan when she accessed the app. In a state of confusion, the fan tried to seek help from fellow ARMYs and her post received many interesting reactions.

Below is a topic that has been gaining attention recently in the fan community about this awkward situation:

BTS started Jin's military enlistment process in December 2022, then the group saw j-hope enlist in early 2023, followed by SUGA who enlisted as a social worker and finally are the remaining 4 members. During the past time, fans have temporarily distanced themselves from BTS and never miss them.

Military regulations are strict, so BTS members seem unable to use SNS to regularly update their situation and interact with fans. Instead, The Camp became a favorite place for "military wives" to follow their military service.

In кσяєα, The Camp is considered the only application where sol∂ιєrs' relatives can update news about sol∂ιєrs during their 18 months of enlistment. The Camp also provides the option to see how many days a sol∂ιєr has been in the army and how much time is left before being discharged. It can be done by searching for the idol via their enlistment date and then it displays a tracker.

But this feature is also the cause, making a foreign ARMY get into big trouble after trying to update the members' enlistment status on the app. On Weibo, a fan shared a photo of the app, but instead of tracking the BTS members, it had the current day as the start of the enlistment and didn’t have a recognizable name.

Not only that, the OP also made netizens unable to hide their LOLs when writing: "I wanted to see how many days are left until BTS is discharged from the military, but I registered myself as a sol∂ιєr. What should I do :sob: Please help me, ARMY-unnies." She was completely confused and worried after α¢¢ι∂єитally registering herself as a sol∂ιєr while accessing the app. Now, she doesn't know what else to do other than ask fellow fans how to get rid of the profile.

Well, this was truly an SOS situation because she had signed up to join the кσяєαn army. Many ARMYs were worried that she might be called up to enlist while others freely joked that she had become a real army. The article quickly received a lot of attention and comments from netizens.

The reaction of netizens and fellow ARMYs was surprising and most advised her it was best to close her account to avoid trouble:

- That army is going to enlist and all other armys will go to the ceremony

- This is just too funny

- True can't join, lucky

- I mean, who has never α¢¢ι∂єитally registered oneself as part of the кσяєαn Army?

- The best way is to delete your account, I'm worried the кσяєαn army will come looking for you

- Hahahahaha, I didn't think she would enlist

- OMG, if she were a кσяєαn, she would probably be taken away immediately

- You should close your account, there's no better way

- We have BTS who enlisted and are now an ARMY?

- It's scary, α¢¢ι∂єитally joining the army while updating BTS's status

- I hope no other fans experience the same thing
