BTS’ Jin’s fans congratulate the singer on completing his basic military training
Shortly after BTS’ Jin’s update on Weverse, fans took to social media to congratulate the singer for completing his basic military training successfully.
The talented BTS member enlisted as an active-duty soldier at the 5th Infantry Division recruit training center in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province, on December 13.
He was sent off by his six bandmates and legions of fans, who bid him farewell virtually. Almost thirty-five days after his conscription, he shared his first update with fans on Weverse. Post this, BTS’ Jin will continue to serve as an assistant instructor/commander in the same battalion.
Naturally, ARMYs are overjoyed and took to social media to celebrate the successful completion of his basic military training. “Jin we miss you,” “Proud of you Jin,” and “Seokjin” were the key trending phrases on social media today.
Korea’s official military app has been regularly sharing photos and videos of BTS’ Jin from his training. BIG HIT MUSIC specifically requested that fans not send gifts and letters to the Epiphany singer while he is enlisted as he might not have enough space to store them.
Instead, they requested ARMYs to send him heartwarming messages on Weverse with the hashtag “Dear Jin from ARMY,” and they will ensure that the messages are directly conveyed to BTS’ oldest member.
BTS’ Jin has recorded short video messages to be released every month for ARMYs. He recorded his first video message for ARMYs on the sets of SBS’ Running Man to promote his debut album, The Astronaut. He assured fans that he would return soon and asked ARMYs to take care of themselves and be happy till then.
