Jimin and Jungkook say goodbye to the fans of Are You Sure?!
Jimin and Jungkook both enlisted in the military on December 12, 2023, marking a momentous occasion. They joined RM and V, who enlisted a day earlier on December 11, making it a deeply emotional time for fans as they saw four BTS members simultaneously head into military service.
With Jin, Suga, and J-Hope already serving, this group enlistment meant that all seven members of BTS were now officially fulfilling their military duties, signaling a hiatus period for the group’s live activities.
What made this moment even more poignant was that Jimin and Jungkook enlisted in the same category under the same division (the 5th Infantry division), reflecting their strong bond and close friendship.
This camaraderie was beautifully showcased in their travel variety show Are You Sure? where they went on lighthearted adventures, providing BTS fans with a slice-of-life experience filled with fun and genuine moments.
V, their bandmate, made guest appearances on the show, joining them in their travels for a few episodes.
Fans were already feeling nostalgia and sadness, but seeing Jimin and Jungkook in their shaved heads, laughing and saying goodbye to the audience, made it more emotional. Despite the somber occasion, the duo couldn’t help but be themselves, chuckling as they attempted their final farewell.
Jimin even saluted, acknowledging their enlistment and adding an endearing moment that fans cherished. This episode became a lasting memory for fans, highlighting not just their bittersweet departure but also the glimpse of the bond that Jimin and Jungkook share.
