On the 22nd, Jungkook said on Weverse, “This coming December, I will start a new journey. I’m leaving you for a while to serve in the military,” he said, leaving a long message. “As I share this news, I feel heavy on one side of my heart, and on the other hand, my heart warms as I recall precious memories with ARMY,” he said. “Every moment I have spent with you so far has been the brightest time of my life.” “I’m so grateful that ARMY’s laughter, support, and love have led me this far, and they have been silently walking with me, supporting my dreams,” he said, expressing his affection for his fans. He said, “It is prudent to tell you to wait recklessly while serving in the military,” adding, “A year and a half is a long time.” So, I can’t say anything selfish, but after I come back, I promise to stand on stage in a more grown-up form where I was always,” he added. Finally, Jungkook said, “I hope that ARMY’s lives will always be full of laughter and happiness, and I hope they fill their daily lives healthily and beautifully,” adding, “I will miss you deeply while waiting for the day we meet again and talk about new stories.” Please don’t get sick and stay healthy. I love you,” he concluded.Earlier in the day, the agency Big Hit Music announced the preparation of BTS members RM (real name Kim Nam-joon, 29), Jimin (real name Park Ji-min, 28), V (real name Kim Tae-hyung, 27), and Jungkook.
