Jin has been discharged from the military since June this year and returned to ARMYs, but 5/7 members of BTS are still serving in the military. Although in two different contexts, the members of the group still maintain regular contact.
In a recent program that Jin participated in, he shared about the most recent call between him and a member in the military. His conversation may have been humorous to some fans, but after that, many realized how much he missed this member.
Here is the story that Jin shared that made fans feel emotional:
Jin is the first member of BTS to enlist in the military in 2022. While ARMYs feel sad and worried about the enlistment of the first member of the group, BTS members have even more difficult emotions because they have never faced this situation before.
However, after 1 year and 6 months, Jin and the BTS members' feelings have definitely changed. He has been discharged from the military and is currently pursuing solo activities while 5/7 of the remaining members are serving in the military. Jin even humorously complained that the other members were sending too many military-related messages in their group chat.
Jin once said: "Our members have a groupchat together. But they talk about being in the military allllll day. Blahblahblahblah. So I was like kekekekeke. And I said, "Hey Hope-ah, how are you feeling?" And he said, "I don't know what they're talking about, hyungnim!""
Meanwhile, with the mindset of a big brother who has gone through military service and completed it excellently, Jin gave advice to the youngest member of the group in their recent conversation. He revealed this while participating in a recent Spotify entertainment program. He received the question that: "What did you recently say to a member on the phone?" and then, he replied: "Jungkook-ah, you still got a lot of time in the army, so work hard! Cheer up, and i'm waiting for you~"
This made fans laugh but many also realized how much he missed Jungkook. Previously, when participating in "Tiktok Tracklist with Jin", he expressed what he misses the most these days: "I miss my members these days, going solo gets kind of boring sometimes.if there's jungkook, I can play fιgнт with him, just bother him fornthe sake of it. That's what I'm used to but now I don't have members, theres staff only, I can't play fιgнт with the staffs so I miss my members a lot".
ARMYs can't help but be moved by the their closeness:
- it's so clear that he misses him dearly. There doesn't go one time that he forgets to mention kook in some way or other. The fact that he was trying to cheer him up
