In the video, all the members are seen rubbing Jin's head playfully messing with his buzzcut as he lets them indulge. In another part of the video, Jin asked the members to go inside, and J-Hope replied, "Why would we go inside?" and V added, "There will be one moment like this.

The members were also seen clicking individual selfies and group photos with Jin. Jin left a final message for Army, "I'll go and come back safely. Since being healthy is first priority I won't be sick, and our Army, don't be sick either."
However, what caught the attention of a lot of fans, was Jungkook's reaction since he is known to be closest to Jin. He didn't speak on camera and didn't cling to Jin as he posed for a picture, unlike other members. He also wore his mask high, in a way that only his eyes could be seen.
Meanwhile, as per news agency Yonhap, Suga will carry out his military service as a social service agent. It added that the rapper was assigned to be a social service agent instead of an active-duty soldier. This could be because of his shoulder surgery but details regarding his enlistment are not yet known.
For the unversed, in South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18-28 are required to serve in the military for about two years. All BTS members had been allowed to put off starting their military service until they turned 30.
