At the present time, Jin is eligible to be called up to the army at any time. Therefore, ARMY is always mentally prepared when Jin's enlistment announcement is officially made.
However, some recent signs of Jin have ARMYs worried that he will quietly enlist and then let ARMYs know. This scared ARMYs that they weren't able to say goodbye to Jin or send greetings to him before he left for the army.
Here's what ARMYs are worried about:
Ever since Big Hit Music announced that Jin will be the first member of BTS to enlist in the army, ARMYs have been heartbroken that they will have to leave him for 18 months. Knowing that Jin serving the country is something to be proud of, but ARMYs can't help but sob when he hasn't appeared for a long time.
But one thing ARMYs are even more worried about is that the closer to the end of the year, the closer Jin's enlistment time will be. That was probably the moment that ARMYs didn't expect the most. However, recently ARMYs have more fear that Jin will enlist in the army without letting ARMY know immeadiately.
Previously, Korean artists who enlisted in the army often announced to their fans publicly. Then, on the day the Kpop idol enlists, fans will go to the Training Center to say goodbye to their idol before he does his training. But recently, some hints from Jin have made ARMY suspect that there is a possibility that Jin will enlist first and notify ARMYs late.
Specifically, when answering a fan question on Weverse, Jin said that he will be at the "frontline" around his birthday. It also means that Jin will enlist around the end of November and early December. That time is now very close.
ARMY also discovered that the military backpack always appeared with Jin and was fully packed. Jin also cut his hair shorter to prepare for his enlistment through his newly uploaded photos.
One thing that makes ARMYs want to cry the most is that Woodteo recently posted an article about saying goodbye to his planet and seeing you someday. Seems like it was like saying goodbye to Jin as he was about to enlist in the army.
Meanwhile, Jin also shared that because he was afraid that ARMY would be sad and cry when he heard about his enlistment before the Busan concert, he chose to announce it after the concert ended. Even when the following schedule announcements became urgent, he accepted it because he didn't want to make ARMY feel sad and wanted to enjoy all happy moments.
At the moment, fans are still waiting for Big Hit Music and Jin's official announcement about the enlistment time. However, these signs make ARMYs worried that Jin will leave before notifying ARMYs so they don't see his sad final moments. But ARMYs still hope that Jin won't go away with his own sadness of parting.
No matter how sad they feel, they still look forward to seeing Jin in his military uniform and saying goodbye to him before he leaves for the army!
