[NewsN Fan Hye-jin reporter] BTS member Jin (real name Kim Seok-jin, 30) will enlist without any separate enlistment-related events.
BTS's agency, BigHit Music, announced through an official press release on December 12, "Jin will enlist as an active-duty soldier in the Army to fulfill his military service obligation. As previously announced, there will be no separate official event on the day of his entry into the recruit training center."
The agency stated that they would like to request that the press refrain from visiting the site, as "it is expected that the site will be very crowded with soldiers enlisting on that day, their families, and some fans."
They added, "To prevent safety accidents due to on-site congestion, Jin will enter the recruit training center grounds while remaining in his vehicle, without any separate greetings for the media or fans," and "Our company will spare no effort in providing continued support until the day Jin fulfills his military service and returns in good health."
Jin will enlist as an active-duty soldier in the Army on the 13th. After receiving basic training at the recruit training center, he will be assigned to his unit.
Jin and his agency did not officially announce the specific time and location of his enlistment to prepare for the possibility of large numbers of fans flocking to the site, which could lead to congestion and safety accidents.
Meanwhile, Jin released his solo digital single "The Astronaut" on October 28, which swept to the top of music charts both domestically and internationally.
Jin not only sang but also participated in writing the lyrics, enhancing the song's perfection. By writing the lyrics together with the British band Coldplay, he expressed his deep affection for his fans, ARMY.
