As we all know that Jin is currently in the process of waiting for the enlistment order from the government and so he can enlist at any time when the nation calls. This made ARMYs live in emotional days when the news of Jin's enlistment received a lot of attention.
Recently, ARMYs even discovered a special detail in Jin's latest video that made many people cry. It was always having a military backpack by Jin's side ever since he was preparing for his enlistment.
Here are the information surrounding the backpack that caught ARMY's attention:
In mid-October this year, after the end of BTS' concert in Busan, Big Hit Music made an announcement that the BTS members would one by one enlist in the army. The first member of the group to join the military service was Jin after he finished promoting his solo album.
Accordingly, at the beginning of November, after returning from Argentina, Jin filed an application to revoke a previous request to postpone his enlistment into the military - the privilege that Jin received after being awarded The Order of Cultural Merit. So from now on, Jin can be called up to the army at any time.
While talking to ARMYs on Weverse Live recently, Jin also revealed that in early December, Jin might have been on the frontline. So, ARMYs speculated that Jin might enlist in late November or early December this year. As this news gets closer, ARMYs feel sad that they are going to be away from Jin for a long time.
Not only that, in the video describing the process of Jin releasing his solo album, ARMYs also discovered a special detail related to the military. It is the scene where Jin is talking to Chris Martin via video call, behind Jin is a backpack with the colors and textures of a military backpack.
At first, because the image was seen from a distance and the details were not clear, but in terms of style and color, ARMYs speculated that it was definitely some kind of military backpack. It resembles the backpack of the Korean peacekeeping force - South Korean soldiers who carry out peacekeeping missions in conflict zones around the world.
After that, many people thought that it was most likely related to the frontline that Jin mentioned earlier on Weverse Live. Because the frontline of the Korean military is similar, where the border between South Korea and North Korea is located. It is known that the frontline area always has heavy snow in winter from October to April next year.
Not only that, it is also dangerous because there can always be landmines buried. Meanwhile, the war situation between South Korea and North Korea in recent months has become increasingly tense and pressure on the frontline is always at the highest alert level.
However, after finding out, the backpack behind Jin's back is actually a backpack of a brand called Gosha Rubchinskiy. This is a backpack with a military color design by a Russian designer. This backpack has an affordable price, falling around 150 dollars for the largest size.
Most likely, Jin bought it or was given it since he decided to enlist. Although it's not really the backpack that Jin used for his enlistment, Jin's use of the backpack shows that he's facing his enlistment seriously and has been mentally prepared for a long. Like what he mentioned earlier to ARMY, his enlistment has been planned since 2020.
Either way, the fact that there's always been a military-colored backpack on Jin's back ever since he made the right decision about enlisting is heartbreaking for ARMYs. Despite accepting that Jin will enlist in the army, it still takes time for ARMYs to get used to this because they have been used to Jin's appearance for nearly 10 years!
