A few hours ago, 4 members of BTS including RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook conducted a final broadcast before enlisting. It's like saying goodbye to the fans and see you again in 18 months.
This broadcast is also a sign that the members' enlistment date is approaching, just like what ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media has reported these days. However, it also makes the members worried because some problems may occur on the day they enlist.
There was even a moment where ARMYs really felt heartbroken when the members even knelt down and begged fans not to do this on that day. Below is the situation that caused BTS to do this:
On this day, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook came together to Weverse Live to say goodbye to fans around the world. As previously announced by Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music, the remaining members of BTS are preparing for their m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ enlistment. Some members even shaved their heads like RM and Jungkook, while Jimin and V's hair was shorter than before.
In this last live broadcast, all 4 members did not hesitate to mention the topic of m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service. They even showed a positive spirit as they got ready for the 18-month training process. V also rea̾s̾sured fans by convincing them to trust his choice by saying: "Ah and, yes.. there was soṃệẗḧing I wanted to say! The place I'm going, there was news released. ARMYs were really worried but for me, I have a goal so please don't worry too much! I'll come back well and won't get нυят! I'm a little~~~~ worried but just trust me!"
But besides that, BTS also noted some things that could happen on their enlistment day and worried that it could affect those around them. What they are most worried about is the fact that fans gathered in large numbers to see off the members at the rookie training center.
The members even pleaded with ARMYs by kneeling and repeatedly expressing that they hoped fans would not come to the members' enlistment locations. While Jungkook started that: "There's soṃệẗḧing we want to ask for.. the location was announced of where we will be but there will be others there so we want to ask you guys to not come!", RM, then, added: "Yes other peoples families will be there too and ARMYs are our face so please don't come!". Jungkook also commented: "This is our last request!". V even kneeled down and said: "Please don't come! I am begging. It is ∂αиgєяous!" and RM did it too. Jimin also said: "And it's cold and we know your hearts so!!!".
BTS's actions are well-founded because the news about the enlistment date and enlistment location was previously spread by ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media. According to reports, RM and V will enlist this December 11 at Nonsan Training Center while Jungkook and Jimin will enlist the next day at Yeoncheon Training Center. BTS is afraid that fans who know this news will gather there too crowded and disrupt the safety and order in the barracks area.
Previously, when Jin and j-hope enlisted, the members and Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music also expressed similar concerns. But fortunately, no cases of overzealous fans happened and this time, the 4 members of the group also prayed for the same thing.
In response to the members' reactions, fans also called on other fans to support and see the members off from afar:
- please listen to them for at least this time...
-YALL HEARD THEM LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!
- I hope army respect their last request
- If anyone of you goes ITS ON SIGHT
- Pls for the love of everything holy dont go there let them go in peacefully
- Everyone should listen and respect!!!
- that "ARMYS are our face" is such a big responsibility to shoulder. the trust they have on us not to come even if the location has been announced. i hope all of us will follow those instructions well.
- If anyone of you goes ITS ON SIGHT
- As Jungkook abt to remind ARMY not to come at the location, his bros were like yes good job for bringing up that important subject. Pls respect their request! "Please don't come to the place when we enter the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴! We don't want soṃệẗḧing bad to happen to the other soldíєrs!"
- Explicitly and specifically asking us to stay home. LISTEN TO THEM istg
- I always thought me saying “please don’t go” would be directed at them not leaving us… but NO. People, PLEASE DON’T GO. ARMYs DON’T GO. At Bangtan’s request, DON’T GO
- Don’t come later and start babbling about K-pop culture. They said STAY IN YOUR HOUSE.
