On the afternoon of December 12, Jimin and Jungkook enlisted at the Army's 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon. The youngest members' enlistment marked the fact that all members of BTS performed m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service.
In particular, in the days after the group members enlisted, Jin shared his h̾e̾a̾r̾t̾b̾r̾e̾a̾k̾i̾n̾g feelings when witnessing his younger brothers entering the barracks. It turned out that Jin, like ARMYs, also had an unpleasant feeling when witnessing this scene.
Faced with Jin's feelings, fans also had similar sympathy and couldn't help but express their thoughts:
These days, all members of BTS have enlisted in the army and served their country. Previously, Jin, j-hope and SUGA, despite being very busy with their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ duties, also asked for leave to see RM and V off to enlist. But the day after Jimin and Jungkook enlisted, it seemed like only j-hope and SUGA and their families saw them off.
Before that, fans couldn't help but be touched when they learned that Jin had traveled more than 300km on his only day off to see off RM and V. After that, he immediately returned to the barracks to celebrate. mission the next day, which was also the day Jimin and Jungkook arrived at the Training Center where he was teaching. Because Jin was not seen in photos taken together when the youngest members enlisted, many ARMYs also understood that Jin had to work at that time and could meet them after both were in the barracks.
But in fact, they still have photos taken together...but on the day RM and V enlisted instead of the send-off photo on December 12. On the 14th, 2 days after Jimin and Jungkook enlisted, Jin shared a photo of the youngest members of the group. He emotionally wrote the caption: "I thought it would be funny, but the tears..."
Most of the time when watching videos, photos or reading stories that BTS members or Jin himself shared in previous days, fans think that the members have a positive view about enlisting in the army. In particular, Jin is always known as a humorous and excited person when watching his younger siblings continue to perform m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. But it turns out, his honest feelings are not what he expresses on his face.
He, like ARMYs, couldn't help but feel emotional and sad when he saw the group's members enlist. And most of all, they will have to be apart for a long time, almost the longest in the past 10 years. When hearing Jin confess about this, fans couldn't help but sob:
- when you cry, you can't do anything else because your heart is pounding
- Don’t cry, Jin. You are so brave and strong for serving your country. We are so proud of you and we miss you so much.
- Noo. If he’s crying I’m really done. I can’t do this. Bring them home now.
- the most funniest and positive member of bts feel sad too...i cant do this anymore....
- I thought we were done with all the sad posts and videos after that Bangtan βοmβ dropped but what is this Seokjin???
- He tried to laugh through the pain, but couldn't
- Oh Jin you are the best big brother for all our boys. take care of our babies
- He's going through it now
- he was in tears I can't do this
- Oh my god, if our strongest sold̾i̾e ̾r is in tears..who is going to hold us up?!!
- it should be a crim1nal offence to make jin sad
While Jimin and Jungkook are new recruits at Yeoncheon Training center, Jin was considered an excellent sold̾i̾e ̾r during his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. Jin not only perfected his physical strength, mental strength and m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ knowledge, but also received the title of 'special warrior' and was promoted to sergeant early.
With Jin being an instructor at Yeoncheon Training Center, where Jimin and Jungkook are enlisting for basic training, fans expect the three of them to meet again soon on the weekend. The m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ official also said this could happen and that Jin could even take his two younger siblings to the PX because he often does this with the new recruits he teaches.
