A Bittersweet Farewell

In a poignant twist to the narrative, it's essential to note that Jung Kook officially enlisted in the Korean military on Dec. 12. The youngest member bid a heartfelt goodbye to his fans through a live session on Weverse, sharing insights into his preparations and expressing his emotions.

“I came to say my final goodbyes,” he said in Korean and translated in English on the site. “Be healthy and well. I’ll come back safely.”

Jung Kook acknowledged feeling "uneasy" the day before his service began but emphasized the need to focus and do well. In a moment of camaraderie, he mentioned, "By tomorrow, all our members will be serving in the military," thanking the ARMY for their unwavering support.
