BTS' Jungkook personally wrote to fans about his upcoming military enlistment.
On November 22, Big Hit Music revealed BTS members RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have initiated the process to fulfill their mandatory military duties. Fans have been worried for the youngest member Jungkook as he just started up his very successful solo career with 'Golden'.
Jungkook then took to Weverse to leave the below letter to fans, writing:
"To ARMY who I love,
The wind is very cold as it's getting close to the end of November already. Everyone already knows it, so I'm just writing a short letter to you all.
I'm starting a new journey in December. I'll be leaving everyone temporarily to fulfill my military duty. A part of me feels heavy as I tell you this, but on the other hand, my heart grows warm when I think of the precious memories I've shared with ARMY. Every moment I've spent with you guys were the brightest times of my life. ARMYs' smiles, support, and love have led me here. I'm so thankful that you have encouraged my dream and silently walked alongside me.
I'm a little cautious about telling you to wait for me during my service. A year and 6 months is a long time. That's why I can't say those selfish words, but I promise you that when I get back, I'll be where I always was and stand on stage again after growing.
During this time, I hope ARMYs' lives will always be filled with laughter and happiness, and I hope your daily lives will be filled with health and beauty. I'll be missing you deep in my heart as I wait for when I can meet you again to talk about new things. Don't be sick, and stay health.
I love you."
In related news, BTS' SUGA, Jin, and j-hope are currently serving their mandatory military service, and the remaining members will be enlisting this December.
That was a really sweet letter. I know I've said it before but he, indeed all of them, will come back to their fans with so much more to offer. Good luck to all of them.
