At the present time, although ARMY is still enjoying Jin's new album happily, there is probably still something sad when thinking about being away from him for a while. This still really makes ARMYs feel burdensome but they are learning to accept it with support for Jin.
Recently, Jin's enlistment time has been revealed exactly and the person talking about this is Chris Martin - Jin's close friend who performed with him at the concert in Argentina:
As previously announced, Big Hit Music said that Jin will apply to cancel his military service at the end of October after returning from Coldplay's concert in Argentina. It also means that with just a few more days, Jin's right to postpone his service until the age of 30 will expire.
During a recent Weverse Live, Jin mentioned that he himself wanted to do his military service in the summer or fall, so he had plans to enlist in June. But then, because the members wanted to do it. gave ARMY one last great concert before enlistment so he hesitated and didn't go right away.
Even when BTS faced a lot of criticism and bad rumors about his military service, he endured it instead of announcing it because he didn't want to upset ARMY. Every decision of his military service is carefully thought out and considered for the sake of ARMY.
Jin also gave ARMY one last special album and Woodteo to take care of ARMY during his 2 year enlistment. Jin also prepared a lot of promotional content for his album The Astronaut and it was also his last greeting to ARMY.
Perhaps after these days, when Jin has completed his new album promotion schedule, he will prepare for the enlistment procedures. In fact, his intended date of enlistment was determined before The Astronaut was born.
During his last concert in Argentina, Coldplay Chris Martin revealed that Jin called him 6 months ago. At that time, Jin told Chris that: "I have to leave the band in December for 2 years and join the army in Korea because that's the rules there."
That is, in December of this year, Jin will officially enlist in the army according to military regulations. It also fits with the fact that he has to enlist when he reaches the age of 30 according to the government regulations for special cases of BTS.
It seems that December of this year is no longer a month of happiness and anticipation because of Jin's birthday. Because it is still the month when he has to say goodbye to his fans and see again in 2 years:
- jin’s debut and last stage until 2025. he deserves nothing less
- Hearing Jin sing those words got me teary eyed
- Oh no in his birthday month
- nothing hurts more than seokjin saying "i need to leave the band"
- My heart has never ached this much. The slow burn
- It has been our Jincember every 30 years until now but this year, december is not waited
- I don't want to have December this year
- We need to say goodbye our golden boy in his birthday month, my heart is burning
- My tear couldn't stop dropping
