No special events on days RM, Jimin, V, Jungkook finish military service
Taking to Weverse, BigHit Music in a statement said that “no special events” have been planned on the day of Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook’s military discharge. The note read, “Hello. This is BigHit Music. We are excited to bring you the news of RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook’s upcoming military discharge. RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are close to completing their active service in the army and will soon be discharged.”
Fans asked not to visit military locations
It also said that since the locations have “very limited space”, so, “overcrowding can pose safety risks”. The agency also asked BTS fans not to visit the sites. “Please note that the discharge day is reserved for military personnel only. No special events are planned on the day of RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook’s discharge. Each location has very limited space, and overcrowding can pose safety risks. We place the safety of our artists and fans as our top priority, and sincerely request our fans not to visit the sites in person,” it added.
BigHit Music also thanked fans for their love and support towards BTS. “Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts. We are always grateful for your unwavering love and support for RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Our company will continue to put our utmost effort into supporting our artists. Thank you once again for your continued love and support for BTS,” the statement concluded.
About Suga’s military discharge
Apart from Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook, BTS member Suga will also complete his military service this month. He enlisted as a public service worker on September 22, 2023. So, his military discharge date is June 21. Jin and J-Hope have already completed their military duties. Jin, who enlisted in December 2022, was discharged on June 12, 2024.
