BTS’ Jimin, who is currently serving in the military, took some time to connect with the ARMYs through a touching letter and send them warm greetings for the new year. On January 29, the K-pop idol posted an update on Weverse, sharing insights about his life in the military. He discussed the monotony of military life, his daily routines, and his late-night talks with his fellow band member Jungkook about their future.
The 29-year-old BTS star opened his letter by reflecting on the time when he enlisted in the military, which was back in December 2023. “Hello, ARMY, this is Jimin. I enlisted in December the year before last, and before I knew it, two years have already passed,” wrote Jimin, as translated by Koreaboo. He added, “I’ve been serving in the military for about a year and two months now. Yes… time really does seem to flow differently here.”
The Closer Than This crooner further mentioned that life in the military is “not easy” and that he has “been learning and experiencing things,” which he wants to discuss with his fans once he is discharged.
In the heartfelt message, Jimin opened up about his experiences in the military, sharing, “Hmm, my daily life hasn’t changed much. Since it’s the military, I spend my days training, working, and exercising, and before I know it, the day is over, and it’s time to sleep again. It’s a repetitive routine.”
Furthermore, Jimin also opened up about the heart-to-heart conversations he had with his bandmate and military buddy, Jungkook. For the uninitiated, the two BTS members enlisted together on December 12, 2023, under the buddy system. In his letter, the 29-year-old K-pop idol shared that the only thing that has changed in the new year was his conversation with Jungkook.
“One thing that has changed, though, is that since the year turned, the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to bed have changed a lot,” he wrote, adding, “Since the days when we can meet ARMY are getting closer and closer, we’ve been talking a lot about what we need to prepare before we see you again, what kind of image we want to show, and what kind of life we’ll live moving forward.”
Despite their excitement about resuming their group activities, Jimin candidly talked about his fear, admitting that it has been a while since the septet has performed together. “To be honest, there’s also a little fear. It’s been quite some time since we all performed together, and it’s been a while since I’ve fully devoted myself to music and the stage. So, I do feel a bit scared,” Jimin said.
However, the BTS star is determined to give his best for the ARMYs. He concluded his letter, saying, “But my determination to give you the best stage possible, for all of you who have waited for us, has not wavered. I’ll prepare diligently, truly…I’ll do my best to return in a really good state.”
Before signing off, Jimin sent his warm greetings to his fans, mentioning, “To our ARMY, who I miss and am endlessly grateful for, until the day we meet again, please stay healthy and always spend your days feeling happy.”
Jimin is set to be discharged from the military in June 2025.
