BTS Military Service: The BTS ARMY woke up to a chaotic Monday morning, December 11, as BTS leader RM and V aka Kim Taehyung gear up to enlist in the military. Taehyung dropped photos of his shaved head on his Instagram and also shared a heartfelt note for ARMY while Kim Namjoon also left fans emotional with his letter. On December 5, BigHit confirmed that the remaining four members of the Kpop boy band will enlist in the military soon and now the day has come. Addressing the fans via their Weverse account, BigHit released a statement and revealed that RM and V will enlist according to their procedures, while Jimin and Jungkook will enlist together.
The company also urged fans not to crowd the enlistment site as the entrance ceremony is supposed to be ‘observed by military personnel and their families only’. Ever since the statement was released, fans were quick to react to it. While most were sad over the ‘goodbyes’, many were also happy that the enlistment would confirm the band’s reported reunion in 2025.
Taking to the internet, the BTS ARMY flooded social media with adorable pictures and videos as they bid a heartfelt goodbye to their favourite band members and also expressed their excitement to wait for the idols to band back together in 2025. From ‘BIGHIT’ to ‘WE WILL WAIT BTS’, the fans have triggered a new trend on the internet as the rest of the members further their military service.
“APOBANGPO. WE WILL WAIT BTS, WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU IN 2025,” a user read.
APOBANGPO💜
