"BRING THEM BACKK"- Fans react as BTS' Jimin & Jungkook's latest photos from the military go viral

BTS’ Jimin and Jungkook's latest photographs in the military went viral on social media on August 12. The photos featuring the BTS members were shared by one of their fellow soldiers.

Jimin and Jungkook began their military journey on December 12, 2024, and have not been active on social media resulting in fewer updates for fans from the artists. However, they are completing the military conscription together through the buddy system, which allows two friends to fulfill their national duties together.

In the picture shared by a soldier, the BTS' youngest member was seen standing on the left side of the photo. Jimin was seen standing on the right in his military uniform, joined by their other troop members in casual clothes.

The photo started to circulate on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) as fans could not stop talking about it. Commenting on the rare glimpses, one fan said:

“BRING THEM BACKK.”

“MILITARY JIKOOK! LOOK AT HOW PUFF THEY BECOME!!!! OHMYGOD,” another fan wrote.

“Why do Jimin and Jungkook look like young boys in military uniform? They never age!,” one fan said.

Fans mentioned how Jimin was the only one wearing his uniform and stated that the Like Crazy singer was seemingly working hard.

“OMG, this Jimin and Jungkook’s recent military photo! They both look so good and youthful with that haircut,” another fan added.

“This picture is so confusing. He looks so young here but also so hot (and daddy). I'm happy to see his beautiful face again but I'm also so sad he's there instead of here. I'm proud of how seriously he takes his work but I also hope he's getting enough rest. Goodness, I miss him!,” another netizen said.

“Seems like jimin just came training everyone is wearing their casual clothes while jimin is wearing the military uniform with boots, my baby is working hard,” one fan wrote.

Fans also highlighted that Jungkook looked younger than usual in the latest photo.

“WHY JUNGKOOK IS IN MILITARY.? HE IS JUST 12 YRS OLD,” one X user added.

“this isn’t a military man this is 2013 jungkook… let my baby out omg,” another fan said.

“How could they recruit a minor into the military? Look at him, he's still too young to enlist,” one fan said.
