BTS's Jimin and Jungkook Enlist in Military
All Members Now Serving in South Korea
Service to Last 18 Months
The last two members of the K-pop group BTS, Jimin and Jungkook, have officially begun their 18-month military duty in South Korea. The enlistment of all seven members of the group marks a significant milestone for BTS and the South Korean music industry.
Jungkook, the group's youngest member, enlisted in December 2023 and has remained off social media since then. Jimin followed suit on Tuesday, joining Jungkook in the military service.
The enlistment of BTS members has been a major topic of discussion in South Korea, where all able-bodied men are required to serve in the military. The group had previously been granted a deferment from service due to their contributions to South Korean culture and economy.
However, with the expiration of their deferment, all seven members of BTS have now enlisted. They are expected to serve for the full 18-month period, with a reunion not expected until at least 2025.
