BTS’s V Sends Emotional Message to Fans Before Enlisting in the Military
V, one of the members of the sensational K-pop group BTS, recently took to Weverse to express his heartfelt emotions as he prepares to enlist in the South Korean military. In his message addressed to his fans, known as the ARMY, the 27-year-old singer shared his sadness at not being able to create happy memories with them during his time away.
In the touching note written in Korean, V assured his fans that he will be back after serving his mandatory 18-month military service. He also urged the ARMY to take care of themselves and find happiness in their everyday lives. The emotional message left fans both heartbroken and inspired, as they showered him with love and support.
But V didn’t stop there. He also mentioned that he has prepared a lot of things within the 18-month period, leaving fans excited and curious about what he has planned. As V bid farewell to his fans, he shared several selfies, including one showing off his shaved head, a common sight among South Korean men before they enter the military.
This news comes after V recently released a music video for his fourth solo single, “Blue.” The song is part of his debut album, Layover, which features other tracks like “Love Me Again,” “Slow Dancing,” “For Us,” and “Rainy Days.” Despite his impending military enlistment, V continues to showcase his musical talents to his loyal fans.
It’s not just V who will be enlisting in the military. The remaining members of BTS, RM, Jimin, Jung Kook, and V, have also begun the process. They are following in the footsteps of their bandmates Jin, J-Hope, and Suga, who are already serving their mandatory military duty. The group’s label, Big Hit, has urged fans to give the four members a warm send-off and encouragement as they embark on this new chapter.
It is important to note that South Korea requires all able-bodied men to complete an 18-month military service stint before they turn 28. To fulfill their obligations, BTS announced a pause in their group activities in October 2022. The group plans to reconvene in 2025 after completing their military duty, much to the excitement and anticipation of their dedicated fanbase.
As V prepares to begin his military service, fans around the world are sending him their love and support. The ARMY remains united, eagerly awaiting his return after 18 months, while cherishing the memories and music he has shared with them thus far.
