Remember, last year, Jin was the only member of BTS to enlist, but this year, all 7 members of the group are in the army. Even though only a year has pa̾s̾sed, there have been many things that BTS and ARMYs have had to face and adapt to change.

However, things seem to be moving in a positive direction for both. These days, looking at pictures of BTS members growing up in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴, fans can't help but remember the words Jin said to the group members before enlisting.

Just as Jin promised, he made the members' enlistment easier and fans realized how important Jin's enlistment was:

In December of this year, the last 4 members of the group, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook, enlisted in the army. Previously, j-hope enlisted in April this year while SUGA performed m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service in September. BTS is a rare Kpop group that accelerated m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service for just one year to be able to soon return to fans with a 7-member lineup.

This time last year was a few dozen days after Jin enlisted at the Yeoncheon Training Center. It seems to be around this time that ARMYs start to feel the transformation during BTS members' m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service. Meanwhile, the members are also entering a period of adaptation to many changes as well as preparing for their enlistment plans in 2023.

Around this same time, RM appeared on the ḳöŕệän national television station KBS News to talk about the group's changes in response to recent events. What fans remember the most is when RM shared Jin's last message before enlisting in the army that year. Only now, when looking at the members who enlisted after Jin, they can see how meaningful his message was.

Specifically, when the MC asked what Jin said to BTS before he enlisted. RM honestly shared his advice to the members like a big brother. He also understands that Jin has a lot on his mind, but he is a rather quiet person and has said some things quite succinctly. RM said that: "Jin-hyung didn't say much. I think he had already thought a lot. When we were there, he said that he'll go and come back well, he said that he'll go through the experience and tell us about it. He said these things that indeed the eldest would say."

ARMYs truly understand that Jin is someone who doesn't like to let such moments become sad. Even when his heart was heavy with worries because he was the first to enlist, he still comforted his younger siblings and gave them moral support that he was the one who paved the way for m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service. group affairs. As expected, Jin said it and did it!

During his time in the army, Jin successfully completed training, becoming Company commander trainee and an a̾s̾sistant instructor until now. He is also honored to certificate as a successful Elite warrior sol∂ιєr. Moreover, he also got promoted ahead of the schedule twice and now, he is a Sergeant.

From the time Jin enlisted until j-hope's turn, he accumulated a lot of experience to give advice to the 2nd member of the group enlisting. With what Jin advised and using him as a good example, BTS has a second a̾s̾sistant instructor, j-hope, and he is also aiming for the same achievements as Jin as a special warrior, a Corporal and a Sergeant in the near future.

Most recently, fans were also informed that V had become a platoon leader trainee after entering the training camp for 2 weeks. He even pa̾s̾sed his test and was deployed to this unit after 1 month of basic training. Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook chose to join the army at the Yeoncheon Training Center where Jin is working.

That shows that the words Jin said before he enlisted were indeed not just a word of comfort or a promise, but actually a mission that he has completed at the present time. Thanks to Jin being the one who paved the way, the members who later joined the army always felt rea̾s̾sured because of his advice and sharing. They also took him as an example and strived to fulfill their duties in the army.

These days, when looking back at the year that has pa̾s̾sed since Jin joined the army until all 7 became sol∂ιєrs, ARMYs can't help but feel emotional and proud!
