BTS V, Jungkook and couple item

Group BTS member V shared his current status.

On the 11th, V posted a photo on his SNS along with the message, "Brother, I'm leaving first. Be careful when you get home tomorrow." The released photo shows V and Jungkook having a video call.

On this day, V entered the Nonsan Training Center in South Chungcheong Province and received basic military training. He is known to have applied for the Army Capital Defense Command's Special Mission Unit (Defense Defense Command Special Forces).

The day before, V revealed his shaved head, saying, "Sunglasses on a shaved head... it was a dream. I wanted to try it someday, and it worked out well." Jungkook conducted a live broadcast on the fan community Weverse on the 8th, but did not reveal his shaved head. Through V, Jungkook's appearance after shaving his head was revealed, attracting attention.

According to their agency Big Hit Music, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook will enlist as active-duty soldiers in the army. The agency said, "To prevent safety accidents due to crowding at the site, we ask fans to refrain from visiting the site. We ask that you only give a warm send-off and encouragement to the members with your heart."

Jimin and Jungkook are scheduled to enlist together on the 12th. Last December, Jin began his military service. J-Hope then enlisted in the army as an active-duty soldier, and Suga enlisted in September and is currently serving as a social worker. BTS, which celebrates its 10th debut anniversary this year, aims to return as a full seven-member group in 2025 after completing military service.
