BTS Jin: When BTS member Jin announced that he will be carrying out his military service in Korea soon, he did not share any dates but he told his ARMY about his birthday plans. The K-pop star said he won't have a usual birthday on December 2 because he will be at the 'front line', a clear hint that he will be joining the military service by then.
A fan asked on Weverse, "Your birthday is next month, are you excited?" Jin responded, "No...I’m on the front line." This broke his ARMY’s heart and many responded with sad posts on Twitter.
Jin's request
He also has special request to fans. As a fan shared his shirtless photo, exposing his ‘7’ tattoo Jin responded saying, “Don’t share stuff like this, focus on my face instead.”
In a statement posted on fan community forum Weverse, the band's management company BigHit Music said the septet hopes to reconvene as a unit around 2025 following their service commitment.

Perfect time
It is also "the perfect time" for the septet to fulfil their duty towards the country after the culmination of the October 15 concert to support South Korea's bid to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan, the company said.
"BIGHIT MUSIC is proud to announce today that the members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfill their military service. After the phenomenal concert to support Busan's bid for the World Expo 2030, and as each individual embarks on solo endeavours, it's the perfect time and the members of BTS are honoured to serve," the agency shared in its statement.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve in the military for about two years.

Call of duty
Owing to their popularity and cultural influence, the mandatory military service for BTS has long been a major debate in South Korea. In their past interviews and media interactions, the group members have maintained that "they will accept the call of duty when the nation calls them".
"Group member Jin will initiate the process as soon as his schedule for his solo release is concluded at the end of October. He will then follow the enlistment procedure of the Korean government," said BigHit Music.
According to the company, other members -- RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook -- plan to carry out their military service based on their own individual plans.
