Reacting to Jin’s new picture, a fan, aka part of the BTS Army, wrote on Twitter, “How can he look still beautiful.” “That’s right still the cutest,” added another one. Someone also said, “No matter what happens, I am PROUD of you, will always think of you and will pray for you constantly! Come back safe.. I love you Kim Seokjin.. every day and all of the rest of forever.”

Last month, Kim Seok Jin confirmed that he will be joining the military on December 13. According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, the Astronaut singer will be at the recruit training centre in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do where he will receive a five-week training. After his training, he will be deployed to the frontline unit of the army. All in all, he will fulfill his duties for 18 months, and other BTS members–RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, will follow him in time. The group will fulfill their mandatory military service before reconvening in 2025.

Earlier, BTS’ agency BigHit Music released a statement about Jin’s military service. The statement read, “Jin will fulfill his required time with the military by enlisting in the army. Please note that we will not be holding any kind of official event on the day of his recruitment.”

“The entrance ceremony is a time to be observed by military personnel and their families only. In order to prevent any issues that might occur from crowding, we ask fans to please refrain from visiting the site. Instead, we ask you to keep your heartwarming words of support and farewell in your hearts. We ask for your continued love and support for Jin until he finishes his military service and comes back. Our company will also strive to provide every support he needs during this time,” it ended.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that military authorities will be taking extra steps to ensure safety during Jin’s enlistment at the military training center. Jin recently made his solo debut in October before fulfilling his duties towards his nation, with single The Astronaut.
