    BTS: Jimin, Jungkook enlist, receive heartfelt send-off from J-Hope, Suga

    What's the story

    The emotional rollercoaster continued for BTS's ARMY as Jimin and Jungkook became the final two members to enlist for mandatory military service on Tuesday.

    Fellow members Suga and J-Hope were there to support them.

    Just a day before, the entire group reunited for heartwarming pictures as V and RM enlisted for national duty.

    Fans flooded social media with tearful wishes, marking the temporary departure of all seven members.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Last month, ARMYs experienced profound dismay when BigHit disclosed that RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook would soon enlist.

    The elder members, Jin, J-Hope, and Suga, are already in military service, indicating a hiatus in new music until the group reunites in 2025.

    This aligns with South Korea's mandatory military service for all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28, spanning 18 to 21 months.

    Details

    Suga and J-Hope were present to cheer them on

    Suga and J-Hope said their goodbyes to Jimin and Jungkook as they entered the military together.

    BTS's official social media handle shared photos from the enlistment ceremony, showing Jimin and Jungkook playfully touching each other's shaved heads and posing with their fellow group mates in casual clothes.

    Fans reacted emotionally, leaving comments like, "Come back safely my loves," and "We will wait for you BTS."
