The time of military service is a sad time for fans of male K-Pop idols. South Korea is one of the countries that still maintains the military conscription system, and celebrities are no strangers to that duty. This December 13th, Jin will become the first BTS member to walk through the gates of the military training center.
The idol temporarily says goodbye to the stage for a period of 18 months.
The singer prepared the nostalgic lyrics for “The Astronaut“, taking inspiration from this momentary separation. “Safe flight for our astronaut” is one of the trending phrases on Twitter, but the hashtags are not the only display of fandom loyalty.

“I promise to support Seokjin for the rest of my life”
“Seokjin will always be our brightest star”
“We love you, our universe Seokjin”
“We will support you forever Jin“
The farewell to Jin is the first of seven similar experiences that the BTS fandom will experience. From now on, it will take until 2025 for the boy group’s OT7 lineup to reunite like before.
