BTS’ Jimin’s special message for ARMY

Jimin wrote on Weverse, “I didn't tell you to worry!! It's not easy Haha. But there are so many good people in the military, so we're all working hard to get training. I'm eating well and working out really hard! So don't worry about me. Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday. I'm so blessed that I'm in the military but I'm still celebrating my birthday.”

He added, “I don't know when I can pay all this back. I'm going to go out and get it all back somehow. I know. Please wait a little bit. I'm writing something, but I'm hesitating. I think that's why it was written in a clunky way Haha. The ARMY I won't forget this precious day. The most precious ARMY in the world I love you.”

The decision by BTS to enlist in the military helped avert a sticky situation for South Korea's government. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied males under 30 years old. The current system allows for some exceptions on the grounds of exceptional service to the country. Some top athletes and classical musicians have been excused on this basis, but pop artists have not.
