Remaining BTS members devastate fans after enlisting in military training

BTS members V, RM, Jimin, and Jungkook enlisted in the military, and fans are devastated.

In 2022, news broke that the popular K-pop group BTS would be going on hiatus due to military enlistment requirements.

Several band members have already begun their military duties. Jin, SUGA, and j-hope enlisted in service earlier in 2023.

Now, the last few band members are set to start their training in December 2023.

Band’s record label confirms military enlistment

BTS member V (Kim Tae-hyung) will begin his military enlistment on December 11, 2023 at the New Recruit Training Center in Nonsan. Reportedly, V applied to serve in the Special Mission Unit of the ROK Army’s Capital Defense Command.

Other members are also expected to start their required service training; RM’s also begins on December 11 with Jimin and Jungkook enlisting on December 12.

On December 4, BigHit (the band’s record label) issued a statement. “RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook will fulfill their required time with the military by enlisting in the army,” read the statement, in part. “RM and V will be enlisting according to their respective procedures, while Jimin and Jungkook are scheduled to enlist together.”

BTS fans left devastated over the news

“I am not ready for this, pleaseeeee,” wrote one fan.

“Wait please my heart,” echoed another.

User WajeehaCh15 noted their December 11 birthday before writing, “Noooo I don’t want this on my birthday.”

“2 year’s without TAEHYUNG?? I can’t imagine. He is the face of k-pop, how we will survive without him for 2 years,” declared another user.

User Agilesss reminded other fans that “the faster they go the faster they back.”

BTS band members will all serve 18 months in the South Korean military. Fans were initially worried about the group’s future—and understandably so—but BTS is set to reunite in 2025.
