Recently, ARMYs and BTS spent Christmas in a special way when most of the members were in the barracks. This seems to be the first year ARMYs celebrate Christmas without the group members but even without them, fans are comforted by the sweet gifts they have prepared in advance.
Not only that, good news from members in the barracks these days is also a precious Christmas gift for ARMYs. Recently, kσrєαn media reported on how BTS members celebrate Christmas when they enlist, especially Christmas at Yeoncheon Center where Jin, Jimin and Jungkook live seems to be the most special.
Not only do they get to rest on holidays, but they also get to meet and interact with their idols:
On this day, fans are eager to hear news from the newly enlisted members. While most of the news was not specifically revealed, at Christmas, some outstanding m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ activities were reported. Typically, all training centers where BTS members are enlisting have 2 days off, including 1 Sunday as usual and the main Christmas day after that.
Equivalent to these 2 days off, BTS rookies like RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook can use the phone for 1 hour a day and do not need to undergo training. Therefore, there is a high possibility that Jin, Jimin and Jungkook had the opportunity to meet and celebrate Christmas together during the holiday season in the barracks. Not only that, the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴'s Christmas meal was also reported to be more sumptuous than usual, showing the good living conditions of the members.
In particular, at the Yeoncheon Training Center where Jimin and Jungkook are receiving basic training and Jin is working as a teaching αssistant, a grand event called Merry Books Mas with sold̾i̾e ̾rs of the 5th Division.
'Merry Books Christmas' was prepared to raise the reading spirit of sold̾i̾e ̾rs as well as create an event for cadets of the 5th Division to entertain during the holidays. After the rituals were completed, the event took place with many games as well as music shows. On this day, Kpop idols like 1Chu performed Oasis's iconic song and female singer Jihye Lee also sang a congratulatory song. Meanwhile, Chuncheon's New New dance team cheered up the sold̾i̾e ̾rs with their pαssionate dance.
This seems to be the most popular musical performance and is also a tradition in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴. Most enlisted sold̾i̾e ̾rs love it when Kpop idols or dance groups come to perform. This year, Jin, Jimin and Jungkook became spectators to watch the performances of other idols. Truly a rarity!
Then, 10 representative players from each battalion came out to play a "Water Bottle Standing" game. The αssociation delivered 1 million won for the game-winner unit, 700,000 won each for 2 best units, 500,000 won each for 3 excellent units, and 500,000 won each to 4 Units, including Reconnaissance and Surveillance Unit. A 1.5 million won gift certificate was given to the winning sold̾i̾e ̾r through a lucky draw.
kσrєαn media reported that Jimin and Jungkook had the most exciting and special holiday ever along with hundreds of other rookies. Although the two BTS members were not mentioned whether they won any awards or not, with the events organized by the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴, it showed that they did not have to go through a boring holiday season. That comforted fans a lot!
