Jimin, RM, V and Jungkook have initiated their enlistment process

Wow, I was not expecting an announcement this soon...like Joon and Tae were teasing music yesterday and Jimin just returned from shooting a MV while JK just finished his comeback 2 days back.

I knew after JK's showcase there was gonna be some sort of announcement.

Also ended those akgaes/solos who were making theories about the members...

Just yesterday Jk was facing another massive hate train by those jealous akgaes claiming he will not enlist and Hybe will find a way to get him exempted all cause his brand launch made them furious and envious, I hope those losers burn in hell

All 4 will be doing active military service

HYBE actually wanted Jungkook to postpone enlistment until 2025 so he could grow as a global solo artist and have his own tour, briefly get together with his group for reunion activities, and then leave for enlistment by himself shortly after. That was their original plan for him.

He declined and chose to enlist with his fellow members instead. It comes to show how committed to the group these guys are!

This hurts, but I'll be preparing for 2025. It's rare to see a music group so committed to each other that they'd sacrifice personal success in favor of camaraderie and brotherhood. That's rare in music, even rarer in the genre of pop. For that, we should should really appreciate them and all they've done. I have no doubts they'll return in two years better than ever.

How do you know this?

2025? I thought it was until 2027, when he'll be 30? I've always been confused with years lol

That was also an option and it would have worked well. But. They've said countless times on suchwita alone that they feel happiest when they share stage with other members. There will be time for solo activities too

As for growing as a global star; two years for western industry is nothing. Western music industry works different than korean. Like i said, there will be time for everything

Also, what's the source for this?

Jk had till 2028, his 31st bday, to postpone his enlistment. I am glad he is going now cause had he not gone the hate he is already facing from those akgaes would have gotten exponentially worse.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

They are really threatened by him, aren't they

I have not seen anyone get this kind of hate, from akgaes in our fandom, to kpoppies to western stans. Anyway, I hope they all relax now, their source of anger is disappearing for 1.5 years

Also a big fuck you in the face of all those who thought BTS will not return by 2025 and keep their promise!!!

For all those worried, we have lots of content coming in the next 6 months - music, variety shows and docus till till June 2024 and Jin's return.

By "postpone enlistment until 2025," I mean pushing back the start of his enlistment to 2025. The other members would come back, he'd join them for the reunion concert or tour, and then enlist right after to return in 2027.

And yup, this is what everyone should have known about them. They're fully committed to the group, even more so than their solo careers and personal goals. That's super rare in this industry. Everything you see about their brotherhood in their lives, vlogs, and other content, that's real.

Extremely proud of Jk, if what you said in your previous post is true. He is really golden in every way, inside out

Quote from superyeah

That upsets me a lot because if only they knew the amount of stress he's had to deal with the past few months... A lot of his recent schedule was crammed in last minute, but he wanted to make it work for the fans and to enlist with his fellow members by the end of the year. I'm telling you. His work ethic is insane.

All of them were always committed to enlisting together and sticking to the BTS name. That never changed, and they weren't going to let anything get in the way of that.

This is so sad to hear cause the hate train he has been facing for simply being successful and wanting to be a pop star is so massive and disgusting, all cause these people were threatened of his solo potential.
