Jungkook's solo achievements and military updates as The Best Thing features his song

Meanwhile, Jungkook is currently serving the last leg of his eighteen-month mandatory military service. The BTS member enlisted alongside bandmate Jimin on December 12, 2023, under South Korea's military Buddy System. He is serving in the 5th Infantry Division.

The duo completed their basic training by January 2024 and were promoted to sergeants in March 2025. With about three months remaining, they are scheduled to get discharged in June this year.

Even while serving, Jungkook has remained connected with fans. In February, he and Jimin made a surprise appearance on j-hope's Weverse Live to celebrate his birthday and shared stories about their time in the military.

Beyond his military commitments, the Seven singer's debut solo album, Golden, broke records upon release, and his songs remain chart-toppers across multiple platforms.

Meanwhile, the Chinese drama The Best Thing is a romantic series that follows Shen Xifan, a hardworking hotel housekeeping manager. She struggles with insomnia and migraines due to her stressful job. She meets He Suye, a dedicated traditional Chinese medicine doctor, seeking a remedy for her condition.

Their interactions begin as a simple doctor-patient relationship but evolve into something deeper as they continue to cross paths. Both characters carry emotional scars from past relationships, but as their connection grows, they find themselves healing and discovering love once again.
