According to Korean media reports on January 19, Jimin completed basic training for his mandatory military service and shared a touching letter with fans.

In addition, his father also shared photos of his son’s ceremony for completing basic training for mandatory military service.

With this achievement, the male idol was rewarded with an early promotion and 5 days off.

On the Instagram post, Jimin also personally left a message for fans with the content: “Thanks to the support and love of ARMY (i.e. BTS fans), 1 year and 5 months can be a long time.” Not too long but not short either. ARMY has given me a lot of strength. I sincerely thank you.”

It is known that when he was in school, Jimin was always at the top of the class; is also a top athlete in different types of sports and physical activities.

He became one of the most sought after idols in the K-pop industry thanks to his talent and good performance skills.

Jimin is the oldest in BTS and is also the group’s first military member. He enlisted on December 13, 2022, and was discharged on June 12, 2024, one day before BTS’s anniversary.

So, in about 5 months, the audience will see Jimin return to the music stage with his own plans.
