BTS' Jimin Pens Heartfelt Letter to ARMY, Reflects on Military Service and Future Plans

BTS’ Jimin recently shared a heartfelt letter with ARMY, offering insights into his military experience, daily routines, and meaningful conversations with fellow bandmate Jungkook. As he enters the new year, the singer took a moment to reflect on his journey, expressing gratitude and anticipation for his return to the stage.

Jimin, who enlisted in December 2023, opened his letter with a reflection on his time in the military. "Hello, ARMY, this is Jimin. I enlisted in December the year before last, and before I knew it, two years have already passed," he wrote. "I’ve been serving in the military for about a year and two months now. Yes… time really does seem to flow differently here."

The singer shared that he is eagerly awaiting the day he can reconnect with his fans and offered a glimpse into his military routine. "It’s not easy, but I’ve been learning and experiencing things, so I’m looking forward to the day when I can chat with you all about everything that’s happened here," he expressed. "Hmm, my daily life hasn’t changed much. Since it’s the military, I spend my days training, working, and exercising, and before I know it, the day is over, and it’s time to sleep again." He added, "It’s a repetitive routine," as reported by Koreaboo.

Jimin also touched upon his close bond with Jungkook, as both are enlisted under the "Companion Soldiers" buddy system and are serving their military time together. He revealed that their late-night conversations have evolved with time. "One thing that has changed, though, is that since the year turned, the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to bed have changed a lot. Since the days when we can meet ARMY are getting closer and closer, we’ve been talking a lot about what we need to prepare before we see you again, what kind of image we want to show, and what kind of life we’ll live moving forward."

While excitement builds for their return, Jimin also acknowledged a sense of apprehension. "To be honest, there’s also a little fear. It’s been quite some time since we all performed together, and it’s been a while since I’ve fully devoted myself to music and the stage. So, I do feel a bit scared, but my determination to give you the best stage possible, for all of you who have waited for us, has not wavered," he shared. He reassured fans by adding, "I’ll prepare diligently, truly… I’ll do my best to return in a really good state."

Concluding his message with heartfelt words, Jimin expressed his deep affection for ARMY. "To our ARMY, who I miss and am endlessly grateful for, until the day we meet again, please stay healthy and always spend your days feeling happy. Wishing you lots of blessings in the new year, ARMY. I love you. Truly. No, I mean, I really do. Hehe."

With his return to BTS inching closer, fans worldwide eagerly anticipate the reunion of the group and the music they will bring in the future.
