Sometimes I imagine a taking photo with ARMYs and me together. With the smile that spreads across my lips right away, makes me feel happy."
He further explained that he has never forgotten ARMYs and added, as translated by X user @BTStranslation__:
"My feelings towards ARMYs and the fact that the owner of the pencil writing my story has been you; I never forget it. Which means that I'm well aware of what I have to do for that. Even though I know, I'm a bit impatient and looking forward to it and also little anxious, I guess. Still since I've written a few characters, I guess it'll be okay to not be trapped in notions. Just.. I think of you guys terribly way too much, I just want you guys to know that. I don't want anything else heh."
BTS' Jungkook is expected to be discharged from the mandatory military service in June 2025.
