For Kpop fans, seeing idols enlist in the army is familiar. But of course, that is also the moment that fans do not want to experience the most because the time of enlistment will make the idol seem to disappear from the fans' lives.
Understanding this, Jin has made thoughtful preparations for his fans every month since he enlisted. Jin's concern for the spirit of ARMYs even makes non-fans admire him because it is rare for an idol to pay attention to this as meticulously as he does.
Here's how Jin showed affection for his fans and maintained a connection with them even when he enlisted:
As everyone knows that Jin has enlisted in the army since December 2022. So far, it has been almost 10 months that Jin has served in the кσяєαn army and he is currently a training instructor at Yeoncheon Training Center - where he enlisted.
Jin really worked very hard in the army to be able to complete every a̾s̾signed mission and make his fans proud. He's always been like that, always talented, hardworking and kind wherever he goes and giving his all whether as an idol or as a m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ officer.
But not only is he diligent in completing his work well, Jin is also known to have great love for ARMYs. Surely you cannot forget the series of heart-warming events that Jin did during the Wings tour or the event with RJ in the Permission To Dance On Stage concert series.
Even though those are small, u̾n̾e̾x̾p̾e̾c̾t̾e̾d ̾ moments, they still make fans happy and look forward to them. He did it while thinking that it would make his fans happy. That's why he constantly came up with new ideas for those few seconds, doing it continuously for days even when exhausted from explosive performances.
But one thing worth noting is that even when he joined the army, Jin also prepared similar happy things for ARMYs. That's sending video messages every month to my fans!
Each video is filmed in a few minutes with a random background but each of his messages is very meaningful. It can be a greeting for a new season, a message for an anniversary month or simply an emotional message...Every month, Jin's message videos always appear on Youtube Bangtan TV and they have been never missed for his fans.

The way Jin prepares this gift for ARMY made many fans of other groups feel admiration and jealousy. They think that he thought a lot about his fans even though he had to rush into the army. The way he sends video messages is so sweet and it always makes fans think of him.
Not only that, Jin also gave ARMYs a friend "Wootteo" before enlisting as if to replace him next to his fans. All the little details that Jin thought of were because he didn't want ARMYs to feel lonely during the time he was in the army.
This topic then received a lot of attention from кσяєαn netizens:
- I've been a fan of the Kpop for nearly 20 years, and saw many idols serve in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ several times, it was hard for me everytime for a few days or even for a few months. So, my first impression when I saw ``Seokjin of the Nth Month'' was ``This guy really loves his fans.'' Even during his busy schedule before enlisting, he prioritized his fans over himself. I'm really envious of Jin fans. Jin-kun doesn't seem to interact/treat his fans like his girlfriends or sweet talk them, but I think he's the rare type who shows his feelings for his fans through actions even without words. I'm a person who just says convenient things and can't take action, so I want to be like Jin as a person.
- even a non fan who knows nothing about Seokjin saw his genuineness, sincerity and true adoration of his fans - we are so lucky to have found him - i love him so much
- Aww so non fans are jealous of us? Kkk.. I think they will join us sooner or later
- He’s always thinking about his fans.
- Kim Seokjin is what idols should be, embodiment of excellence, a human in which is you aspire to emulate. Seokjin, we'd still love you if you weren't so amazing 100% of the time. Hope you are healthy, happy & finding your joy today.
- jin be like say no to romantic treatment but show them an unconditional love
- That's so sweet. He is a rare gem that is purely exquisite, unique and genuine. Every month, these videos become my motivation to do even well for him whether it's voting, streaming, applying his advice on me. He is a type of celebrity you can't help but admire as a person
- following his monthly message and i admire ARMYs because of his sweet love to his fans
- Please I need to stop crying today
- There's only one Kim Seokjin in the whole world. No one does it like him
- Kim Seokjin is one-of-a-kind and all kinds of wonderful!
- I think all kpop fans see the sincerity in SJ. He is not from the same mould that other kpop idols come from. That sets him apart from the ma̾s̾ses.
