BTS' Jungkook Enlists in Military, Marks End of an Era

K-Pop Sensation Begins 18-Month Service

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the global K-Pop community, BTS' Jungkook has enlisted in the South Korean military. The 25-year-old singer and dancer joined his fellow bandmate Jimin on Tuesday, marking the official start of BTS' extended hiatus.

A Farewell to Social Media

Jungkook's enlistment comes after months of speculation and a poignant farewell message to his devoted fans on social media. In December 2023, he posted a single word, "Army," expressing his gratitude and love for the BTS Army, the band's loyal fanbase.

Since then, Jungkook has remained off social media, leaving the spotlight to his fellow BTS members and focusing on his military training. His absence has sparked both anticipation and a sense of loss among fans, who eagerly await his return.
