BIGHIT Music gives update on BTS Jin's upcoming military enlistment, asks fans to show support from home

BTS' Jin is enlisting into the military this month.

A few days after Jin's 30th birthday, BIGHIT Music sent an update via Weverse saying that they "will not be holding any kind of official event on the day of his recruitment." The label further went on to share that the entrance ceremony is a time reserved for the military personnel and their families to say goodbye. "We ask fans to please refrain from visiting the site. Instead, we ask you to keep your heartwarming words of support and farewell in your hearts," BIGHIT Music added emphasizing that fans should not come to the entrance ceremony and show their support from their homes.

In a Weverse post last month, Jin also wrote "Please don't come to the training center, ARMY." "It can be dangerous because it's crowded," Jin added before ending his note with "ARMY, I love you."

As a farewell present for ARMY, Jin released his first official solo single, 'The Astronaut'.
