“Jin hyung was like, as soon as I saw him, ‘Hey Taeh-yung try touching it (Jin’s muscles).’ Huh? ‘Touch it to see if it got bigger.’”
The Astronaut singer enlisted in the military on December 13, 2022. He was reportedly appointed as the Assistant Drill Instructor at the same base he completed his basic training, the 5th Infantry Division.
