The 5th Infantry Division was where BTS’ Jin entered when he enlisted last December and where he is currently serving as an assistant instructor. 

On Dec. 11, BTS’ RM and V enlisted and entered the  Korea Army Training Center in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province. 

On X (formerly Twitter) photos showed BTS’ Suga and J-Hope, who are both fulfilling their military service, accompanying Jungkook and Jimin to their enlistment. 

Before he enlisted, Jungkook held a live broadcast on the Weverse app. 

“I came to say my final goodbyes. Everyone, be healthy and well. I’ll come back safely. Definitely because it’s the day before [enlistment], I feel uneasy,” he said. 

He added, “By tomorrow, all of our members will be serving in the military. Thank you so much for giving us support. I’m going to miss you. I love you, everyone."  

All BTS members will finish their military service by June 2025. 

Jin enlisted on Dec. 13, 2022 and will be discharged on June 12, 2024.
