BTS’ Jungkook And Jimin New Photo From Military Is Breaking The Internet

Jungkook and Jimin of BTS embarked on their military journey last month. Following a recent military briefing, the duo transitioned into their roles with dedication and professionalism. In newly released snapshots, the K-pop icons were seen in proper military gear alongside their fellow trainees, identified by soldier numbers 59 and 60 for Jungkook and Jimin, respectively. Enlisting on December 12, 2023, after RM and V’s departure for military duty, the pair opted for the buddy system, choosing to undergo basic training together. Despite initial restrictions on individual BTS member photos due to intellectual property concerns with HYBE, exceptions were made for group pictures, providing fans with a glimpse into this new phase of their journey.

The most recent images depict the K-pop idols undergoing training together under the supervision of the eldest member, Jin. These pictures capture the duo posing side by side, with Jungkook’s face partially covered by a bandana, yet his distinctive facial features are still discernible. In contrast, Jimin appears serene and composed, holding his head high in the photograph.

Recently, The Camp, a website designed to facilitate communication between soldiers and their families, gained attention after removing BTS from its ‘Star Soldier list.’ The decision was prompted by a significant surge in website traffic, causing the site to crash. This move led to a legal dispute between The Camp and BTS’ management company. The repercussions extended beyond BTS, as idols from other management companies were also affected by being removed from the list.

All BTS members are completing their mandatory military service, and the boy band plans to reunite in 2025. Beginning with the eldest member, Jin, who started his service first is expected to complete his duties by early 2024, followed by, J Hope and Suga. Throughout their individual journey, the trio intends to share new solo music. This approach enables them to maintain their musical presence and engage with their audience during the break.

Earlier photos of the BTS members undergoing their mandatory military service rapidly gained attention and became a sensation among fans. One striking image showcased Jungkook with a serious demeanour, seated at a desk, attentively receiving instructions. Another photo captured Jimin in a different moment, where he is seen applauding during a lecture. The attention was drawn to V and RM in group pictures, with V wearing the platoon leader tag, while RM stood out with a distinctive blue tag.

The blue tag holds significant importance in the South Korean military. It is bestowed upon the most talented and skilled troops after completing a rigorous and demanding training routine. The tag symbolises exceptional abilities and dedication, serving as a recognition of individuals who have demonstrated outstanding performance in their military duties.
