“My Loves”: BTS fans react to Jin’s first Instagram post with Jimin and J-hope since military enlistment

On March 4, BTS’ oldest member Jin took to his personal Instagram to share his first update with ARMYs since his enlistment.

The Epiphany singer enlisted in the Korean military on December 13 and was assigned to the 5th Infantry Division recruit training center in Yeoncheon County of Gyeonggi Province. His other six bandmates and legions of fans across the world saw him off as he became the first member of the group to enlist in the military.

Unsurprisingly, BTS fans grew emotional as they witnessed this warm camaraderie among the members. J-hope and Jimin took the time to visit Jin in the military. In the photo, Jin is sporting his military uniform while J-hope and Jimin are dressed in stylish woolen outfits.

On March 1, BTS’ Jin graduated to the rank of private first class after serving in the 5th Infantry Division Recruit Training Center as an active-duty soldier. His hard work, sincerity, and dedication set an impressive precedent as a company commander trainee with a brilliant display of leadership, and saw him serve as a conductor representing trainees at the graduation ceremony.

After completing his basic military training sometime in mid-January, the Abyss singer applied for the position of an assistant instructor, for which he had to appear for an interview, where he was evaluated on the grounds of command adjustment evaluation and an oral interview. The idol was eventually selected as an assistant instructor to a group of young soldier recruits.

On March 1, BTS’ Jin was promoted to private first class, adding another feather to his illustrious hat. ARMYs took to social media to congratulate Jin with the hashtag "Dan_Tiger Assistant_Private Seokjin Kim_Gyeol."
