Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = Global super group BTS member Jin (31, Kim Seok-jin) left a comment on the 10th anniversary of his debut while serving in the military as an active duty soldier.
Jin said on the global fan community Weverse on the 13th, “Thanks to our ARMYs, we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. There is a saying that even mountains and rivers change in 10 years, but it is amazing that the love between BTS and ARMY does not change.” .
At the same time, he expressed regret about not being able to film more content related to the 10th anniversary before enlisting. Knowing that the other members are working hard to create the 10th anniversary content well, Jin said, “For my 11th anniversary content, which remains in the military life ‘365 days’ and ‘1 year’, I go to the company instead of going home as soon as I am discharged to find you on Weverse live. I’ll see you,” he promised.
“Of course, I can come home early, but I will not hold all appointments and will spend the 11th anniversary of the discharge day with all of you.” Jin’s discharge date is June 12 next year, the day before the 11th anniversary of BTS’ debut.
On the 13th, an advertisement for BTS Jin was posted at the bottom of the front page of the Bangbang Ilbo for the first time as a celebrity. (Photo = Captured from the Defense Daily) 2023.06.13. photo@newsis.com *Resale and DB prohibited
Jin added, “I’m so happy to be able to say something like this. Thank you so much for being with us during our 10th anniversary, and I hope you will be with us until our bodies can digest the stage.”
Meanwhile, the National Defense Daily, a daily newspaper specializing in national security published by the Defense Public Relations Service under the Ministry of National Defense, drew attention by posting an advertisement congratulating Jin on the 10th anniversary of his debut at the bottom of the front page. This is the first time that a celebrity advertisement has been published in the Bangbang Ilbo. One of Jin’s fandom, ‘Kim Seok-jin PR Team’, proposed to the Bangbang Ilbo and paid a small amount of advertising money. It was reported that the Bangbang Ilbo decided to publish the advertisement in order to boost military morale after reviewing the advertisement.
