K-Pop Star Joins the Army, Serving the Nation

According to an update on Aug 8, 2023, another member of the popular K-pop group BTS, Suga, has started his mandatory military service in South Korea. This comes after Jin, the eldest member, enlisted in December, and J-Hope followed suit in April. Big Hit Music issued a statement announcing Suga’s enlistment and requested continued support from fans until he completes his service. The company ensured that they would provide full support to the artist during this time.

On Dec 13, 2022, Jin officially began his military service despite his request for fans to stay away. Hundreds of fans gathered to witness his submission at an army training center in South Korea. This marks the start of the mandatory military service for BTS members, which lasts for at least 18 months. Jin arrived at the Yeoncheon army base in Gyeonggi province, located near the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea, in a motorcade of six black vans.

Jin recently posted on social media platform Weverse, stating that it’s time for a curtain call, along with a photo showcasing his new buzz cut. His real name is Kim Seok-jin, and he will undergo a five-week basic training course that includes marching, rifle shooting, and grenade throwing. During training, the members will share bunk beds in a cellphone-free barracks. However, Jin will be allowed limited cellphone use on weekends, and fans can send him letters that will be printed out and delivered to him.

Fans expressed concern for Jin’s well-being during his military service, particularly throughout the cold winter. They wished him the best and promised to wait for him for the duration of his service. The remaining BTS members are also expected to fulfill their compulsory military service, lasting between 18 and 21 months. Management agency Big Hit Music has stated that the group aims to reunite in 2025 after completing their service commitments.
