BTS' eldest member Jin AKA Kim Seok shared a heartfelt letter to his fans on 10 years of the popular Korean boy band where currently Jin is serving as an active soldier in the military. In his letter, the singer talked about not being there to celebrate the moment with his fans and band members for which he apologized dearly and also revealed his plans to return next year.
In his long letter, Jin wrote on Weverse, "Hello, it's Jin. Thanks to you all, our ARMYs, we get to celebrate/welcome our 10th anniversary. There's a saying that even rivers and mountains change if it's 10 years, but it's quite fascinating/amazing that BTS and ARMY's love doesn't change."
It further read, "I, too, of course, want to give you all something as 10th-anniversary content, but..as I can't be together with [you all], I'm with such a bummed out heart (i.e. it's such a bummer/shame). I should've filmed more of various content before enlisting, but I don't know how to convey my apologetic/sorry heart (i.e. IDK how to express my apologies) [to you all]."
The rapper also revealed when he is going to get discharged from the military service where he shared his plans of spending time with his fans as soon as he will reach his office. His discharge date would be around BTS' 11th debut anniversary.
The singer wrote, "I know/am aware that our remaining members are diligently proceeding well with the 10th-anniversary content, and. I, who have '365 days' '1 year' left of military service, for our 11th anniversary content, will try to come see you all through Weverse live by going to the company, rather than going home, as soon as I am discharged [from the military] Of course, with it (*the time of being discharged) being early [in the day] I may go and stay at home [for a bit] and come, but I won't make any plans and try to be with you all on my day of discharge on [our] 11th anniversary. I'm so happy I can at least say something like this haha."
He continued, "Thank you so much for being together with us for the time of our 10th anniversary, and I will hope that [you all] will be together with us until/as long as our bodies can pull off stages/perform."
The rapper was also seen on Suga's show 'Suchwita' a couple of days ago as a guest where the episode was recorded before he joined the army. The other members of the band including RM, Park Jimin, Suga, and Kim Taehyung also shared posts and unseen footage and letters for their fans.
J-Hope is also serving in the army and treated his fans with a rare online post. The band is currently on hiatus and is focusing on their solo career, however, they are expected to make a smashing return in 2025.
