This is the first time since their debut in 2013, BTS will spend the Christmas holiday without the presence of all 7 members. Jin's enlistment on December 13 previously made many ARMYs feel touched and regretful because they had to spend a winter without him.
However, to fill the void of Jin during the winter holiday this year, BTS has also won many Christmas gifts for ARMYs in turn. While you wonder how BTS will spend Christmas this year without Jin, here is a summary of what BTS did this past Christmas.
While this is likely to happen in the next two years, to be able to gather for Christmas 2025 all the wait is worth it:
Normally like every year, BTS will celebrate Christmas and New Year with ARMYs with many exciting activities. It could be year-end concerts or overseas concerts where BTS will bask in the cheers of their fans. This year, however, the members and ARMYs will be spending Christmas with a member far from the group and his home, due to Jin doing his mandatory military service in the barracks.
Therefore, on these days in 2022, there will be no BTS OT7 Christmas content that fans have long been familiar with. However, a new video of the group was uploaded to the BANGTANTV YouTube channel as a gift for ARMY during the holidays.
The video gathers unpublished moments of the idols backstage at the TMA held in October, where they were the winners of the most prestigious awards. But ARMYs still expect some more comfort from the members because of a holiday without Jin.
And it's surprising that BTS members understand this heart of ARMYs. They have created new and lovely content for this Christmas that is so heartwarming. Taehyung released a cover of the classic Christmas song “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” with his pet Yeontan as a special gift for ARMYs.
The warm voice and simple style still won the hearts of fans. They all couldn't stop whispering when they heard Taehyung's song on Christmas Eve. Every casual moment of him and his pet dog Yeontan has warmed fans' hearts.
Meanwhile, Jimin returns to Weverse on Christmas Eve to take care of ARMYs in place of Jin who is on active duty. He also sent his Christmas wishes to Jin while he was in the barracks making ARMYs touched and prayed along.
In addition to interacting with fans, he also posted a new photo and a handwritten gift for ARMY. It's been a long time since ARMYs have seen such lovely images of Jimin. Hence it is a warmest Christmas gift.
In addition to V and Jimin, RM also shared a new story on his Instagram on December 25. In the photo, one can see his exercise routine and the words “Merry Xmas” at the bottom. Attached to the image is a description for the story, he added the word "Sucks".
Besides the members sending their wishes directly to ARMYs, j-hope spent his Christmas in music and devoted great stages to fans. He unexpectedly took the stage at Crush's anniversary concert on the night of December 25, as a surprise guest. The BTS rapper collaborated with the solo artist on the track “Rush Hour” released in September.
Meanwhile, SUGA and Jungkook are the only members who haven't updated on their Christmas activities. However, it is believed that Jungkook spent Christmas Eve with his family due to a photo of a family dinner posted on social media by his brother.
The members had a truly independent Christmas holiday for the first time after many years of working these days. When Jin is not around, they always try to take care of ARMYs and spend time with their family and themselves. BTS is not missing any precious time!
