The story of when and how BTS will enlist in the army has never been a hot topic for netizens. Being the most famous K-pop group at the moment and making a significant contribution to Korean culture and economy, many people always wonder about how the members will enlist in the near future.
In particular, recent information has made many people curious about when Jungkook will enlist in the army. Here is what has been analyzed by netizens, Big Hit representatives and experts about Jungkook's enlistment.
After the news that Jin will enlist at the end of this year, many people believe that the BTS members will enlist in turn. Big Hit in its announcement also indicated that the members will enlist when completing their individual schedules and considering their other activities.
Even so, in the same announcement, Big Hit Music indicated that BTS hopes to reunite soon in 2025. This means that it will only take 3 years for all members to fulfill their obligations and return to activities. the group. Therefore, many people think that even Jungkook will enlist early next year to keep up with this plan.
However, a representative of HYBE recently commented that they still have no plans for 6 out of 7 members of the group. Regarding his mandatory military enlistment in Korea, the only member of the group who has planned military schedules will be the oldest, Jin.
But at the same time, the HYBE rep also showed that SUGA, Jimin, Jungkook and V will complete their solo album next year. It is also understandable that they quickly shortened this solo process to help the enlistment proceed faster.
Going to the army early with Jungkook after completing his solo activities is also said to be possible because BTS often sticks to group activities. Many experts also pointed out that it is not necessary to wait until the age of 30 for Jungkook to join the army because it can affect BTS's reunion.
In addition, there are also some netizens' assumptions that Jungkook will choose to join the army with the maknae line after the hyung line nearly completes his military service. Continuity of military service will help shorten the downtime of BTS members and reduce risks.
Meanwhile, some other netizens think that Jungkook can completely choose to do solo activities until 2028 because BTS members respect each other's decisions. Jungkook can also continue to work with the group after the BTS members return and then perform his military service at the age of 30.
However, these are all speculations and even the CEO of HYBE mentioned that BTS and the company will discuss this together when the members make a decision. In general, no matter what decision, ARMY will always support Jungkook wholeheartedly.
