On June 12, 2024, BTS' Jungkook was seen welcoming fellow group member Jin as he got officially discharged from the Army's 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon Gyeonggi-do. Subsequently, multiple photos and videos from the place where Jungkook and other members were greeting and hugging Jin spread like wildfire on the internet.

In the pictures, Jungkook was donning his military uniform with his sleeves rolled up, which revealed a possible burn scar on his arm. The wound on the Golden Makae's arms left fans concerned about how he got it and how severe it could be. Some fans also assumed that the singer might have gotten the scar while cooking as he was recently assigned the duty of a military cook.
Observing Jungkook's scar, an X user concluded that the Golden Maknae must be working hard:
"He’s working so hard :( I hope he’s eating well and taking good care of himself."
Netizens stated that the supposed burn scar would heal soon, narrating their experiences and commenting that they had suffered similar wounds. Many also sarcastically mentioned that from now onwards, soldiers should either eat raw food or cook for themselves as the idol got hurt.
"Its a burn actually surely done with his hard work in the kitchen ! I got tone of these while working it heals fast dont worry :)," A user shared.
"Listen, you people in the military, can cook your own food, or ask me to do it. but jungkook's going home, this is it," A user reacted.
"K-ARMYs reaction to seeing Jungkook's wounds is both cute and hilarious at the same time..T/N: Jungkook updated a while ago that he has also been assigned as a military cook. So some are joking around saying that from now on, the soldiers should eat raw food or cook their own food because our man is injured," A user mentioned.
"Wait, Jungkook has a scar on his hand...! Oh I hope he recovers quickly," A user commented.
Jungkook shared a heartfelt letter following the release of his fan song Never Let Go
On June 7, 2024, BigHit Music dropped his latest fan song, Never Let Go, to convey his sincere feelings for ARMYs and to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the group event, FESTA. Following the release of the latest track, the idol shared a heartfelt letter on the South Korean social media platform Weverse.
The Golden Maknae said about Never Let Go, as translated by X user @btsinthemoment:
"ARMYs, did you receive my song gift well heh.. it would be great if you liked it :) i worked on it while thinking of you all right from the start and you might wonder if the hook repeats for too long but to be honest it was song i was planning to show along with a dance of the house genre.. like a performance song.. but i didn't have time so i couldnt go through with it...hoping that you will understand.."
He expressed his gratitude to the fandom who has been with the group through thick and thin for eleven years and wished them a happy eleventh anniversary. The idol also prayed for their health and concluded the letter.
The BTS member began mandatory conscription on December 12, 2023, alongside fellow group member Jimin, and after concluding his five weeks of basic military training, he was deployed to the Fifth Infantry Division.
