As the remaining members of BTS leave for the military today and tomorrow, it is an emotional time for their fans, the ARMY. But the two of the youngest members of the K-pop group ensured that they infused some fun into this sombre moment. On Monday morning, the day V aka Kim Taehyung and Kim Namjoon were to join the South Korean military, the former did something that made fans tear up and laugh out loud at the same time.

Taehyung took to Weverse to share a goodbye post for fans, along with some photos and videos from his personal collection. The singer also included a screenshot of a video chat with Jungkook, in which both of them are seen bare-bodied. They are seen wearing sunglasses in the screenshot which also revealed their shaved heads, which shows it was from a recent video call.
V wrote on the photo, "Hyung is going first. Enlist safely tomorrow."
The post invoked mixed feelings among the ARMYs, who are sad to see their favourite idols leave, but also couldn't help crack up at their 'unserious'-ness.
They will always have eo as priorities 💜💚 #TaeKook
