The group’s other six members followed his loving partner to the training camp to say farewell and snap the traditional photo with his shaved head shortly before his mandatory military service begins and they won’t be able to see him for a long time.
Hours later, the first images of Jin at the military base were released, in which the artist with his shorn head greets his superiors alongside the rest of the recruits, but it is also clear that the K-Pop singer is very unhappy, as seen by the tears in their eyes.
Many followers were both relieved and concerned when they saw the photographs and wished him a safe homecoming. Jin’s military duty is expected to end on June 12th, 2024.
Which BTS member will enlist next after Jin?
According to the management company, each member of BTS will enlist in the army. Therefore, after Jin, many fans are interested in who will be the next to go to the army.
BTS’s participation in military service is a Һot topic of great interest to Korean audiences. According to the management company, BTS will not join the military service as a series of 7 members, but they will divide them up one by one.
On December 13, member Jin was the first to enlist. Accordingly, he went to the Korean Army’s recruit training center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, to begin a 5-week basic training course.
The BTS members all came along to see off Jin because he was the first to enlist in the group.
After Jin, many viewers are interested in who will be the next member? According to Korean media, the person who is likely to enlist after Jin is the leader of the group RM because of a share he shared on Suga’s talk show SuChwiTa.
Accordingly, RM confirmed that in 2025, he will complete his military service and will start to have long hair again.
Before these shares, fans said that RM had plans to enlist after Jin.
According to Korean media, the next person to enlist is Suga. However, he postponed his enlistment until the end of 2023 for a number of reasons.
When Suga enlists in the army, he will likely be assigned as a community service worker and work in a government office, instead of serving in the army like Jin due to a serious shoulder injury.
Currently, in order to match BTS’s development strategy as well as arrange schedules for members to go to military service, the management company has let each member go solo. This also raises many concerns that BTS will be difficult to reunite in 2025.
