BTS Send Jin to Military in Heartwarming, Intimate Video: Watch – Billboard

Even earlier than BTS‘ official debut, the group was recording and sharing personal and intimate moments with their fans so, naturally, ARMY got a glimpse into Jin‘s big day of enlisting in South Korea’s army service.

All six of Jin’s band mates got here to ship him off to the Yeoncheon military base, positioned north of Seoul and just some miles 10 miles from the Demilitarized Zone separating South and North Korea. BTS managed to keep away from the crowds gathered on the base (which reportedly included dozens of journalists and safety workers, plus a handful of followers) and loved some quiet time with Jin.

Soundtracked to BTS’ new Proof tune “For Youth,” the three-minute clip exhibits the celebrities cracking jokes, posing for photographs and selfies, and the fellows getting a kick out of rubbing their palms by way of Jin’s newly buzzed hair. 

Of course, Jin shared a message for followers earlier than heading off: “Health is a top priority so I won’t get sick, and I hope you stay healthy too, ARMY.”

Viewers then noticed RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook proudly watch Jin be part of his fellow recruits and provides the primary salute of his army service.

RM shared some further ideas on the finish of the video that spoke to his nurturing aspect because the group chief. “Jin hates the cold so I’m a bit worried,” the “Wild Flower” star mentioned. “But we’ll follow him soon. I don’t feel great sending him off, but he always does well wherever he is, so I’m sure he’ll do well. It’s sad, but this is everyone’s duty.”

Per South Korean regulation, all able-bodied males should serve in the armed forces for no less than 18 months with various lengths of service time. The BTS members shared earlier this yr that they are going to all serve in the approaching months with plans to reunite in 2025.
