The current military service issue is no longer a big deal for BTS and ARMY because the members have arranged this plan. Even for Jin, he planned to enlist in the army many months earlier than the announcement time.

But for a very convincing reason, he could not have left sooner. All of his choices are based on thinking about ARMY's feelings.

I think you will cry because of the reason he said:

A few hours ago, Jin took to Weverse Live to celebrate the release of his new solo album The Astronaut. Jin had a congratulatory candle-blowing ceremony and reacted when watching the new MV very happily with ARMYs. Besides, Jin also shared a few stories surrounding the newly released album as well as his military service.

This is the first time Jin has mentioned going to the army since Big Hit Music announced that he will be enlisting after finishing his solo album promotions. Therefore, Jin talked a lot about this issue, but with a more relaxed mentality.

He even thinks enlistment was a 'voldemort-like word' and he said he's a bit relieved now that he's gotten it out now. For someone who don't know, Voldemort was nicknamed he who must not be named because you couldn't mention his name adn with Jin, enlistment has the same meaning. 

Perhaps at the present time, when ARMY has accepted that he will have to be away from BTS for a while, he feels lighter and more open when sharing about this. He can even formally and frankly tell fans about his decision and his enlistment after Coldplay's concert in Argentina ends. 

Jin also shared how he decided to enlist early this summer or fall because it's a better time in winter and he likes it too. But then, because the members told him to go after holding a polite concert for ARMY as a souvenir, he hesitated and ended up choosing to stay for a while longer.

Specifically, Jin said: "This is something I cannot leave out. This is about my enlistment. Now I gotta finish this Argentina (concert) and go back to Korea. Not immediately after I return but..  I thought BE as the last album and was about to go on the enlistment.

But we went up to Butter and Permission to Dance. Permission to Dance was the last (in my mind) but then I wanted to do a concert. And then during the concert there was Grammy.. then I told myself: Hey after finishing this let's go, then the World EXPO was gonna be held... I was talking with the members saying it would be good if I can go in summer or during fall, but the members told me to just to do this concert and go cause for the first time in so long we are having a concert in Korea with cheers.

So I really thought about it, do I go to the military in the season I want or do this as courtesy for ARMYs?". And finally, he chose to stay later and gave us a meaningful concert and wondeful solo album. 

It can be seen that Jin really thinks about ARMY's feelings and puts their feelings above his own wishes. He gave ARMY the best before leaving for a while. It can show how great his heart is.

ARMYs, after hearing about the reason Jin chose to enlist in the winter, couldn't help but wipe his tears and say:

- he chose us over himself omg

- My heart is soo heavy rn
