Black-haired RM, haircut V, fan letter Jungkook... BTS announces military enlistment together

Group BTS RM, V, and Jungkook are preparing to enlist in the military.

First, RM attended the 18th Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign charity event held on the 24th. On this day, RM caught everyone's attention with his short, black hair. RM appeared with short hair at an official event, attracting attention by making the public and fans realize that his military enlistment was just around the corner.

V also confirmed that he cut his hair short by verifying a photo of his cut hair lying on the floor through his SNS.

Additionally, on the 23rd, Jungkook posted a letter to his fans through the fan community Weverse. He said, "This coming December, I will begin a new journey. I will be leaving you for a while to serve in the military. On one hand, my heart is heavy as I tell you this news, but on the other hand, my heart is filled with memories of precious memories with ARMY. “It’s getting warmer,” he started.

Jungkook continued, "I'm cautious about asking you to just wait while I'm serving in the military. 1 year and 6 months is a long time," he said. "So I can't say that I'm selfish, but since I've been there, I've grown even more in the same position I've always been in." “I promise to stand on stage with you,” he said, drawing attention.

Jin, who was the first member of the team to enlist in the military, showed off his composure by leaving a comment on Jungkook's post saying "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ". As of the 26th, Jin is 199 days away from being discharged from the military, and is expected to become the first member of the team to complete the military. Previously, Jin left a comment on the news of J-Hope's enlistment in February, saying, "I will soon be a private first class. If you ever run into each other, don't even think about making eye contact. I am a private first class and you are a trainee."

Meanwhile, BTS' agency Big Hit Music made it official through an official statement on the 22nd that "RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have begun the process to fulfill their military service obligations," and that they will enlist in the military one by one.

Jin enlisted in the army last December, and J-Hope enlisted in the army last April. Suga, who was determined to be a social worker, has been fulfilling his military service obligation since September and has been communicating through the YouTube channel 'Schuchta'.
