BTS‘s Jimin recently wrote ARMY a thoughtful letter, greeting fans for the new year.
He reflects on his time in the military thus far since enlisting on December 12, 2023.
Hello, ARMY, this is Jimin.
I enlisted in December the year before last,
and before I knew it, two years have already passed.
I’ve been serving in the military for about a year and two months now.
Yes… time really does seem to flow differently here.
It’s not easy, but I’ve been learning and experiencing things,
so I’m looking forward to the day when I can chat with you all about everything that’s happened here.
— Jimin
He talks about his daily routine and how his life passes while in the military.
Hmm, my daily life hasn’t changed much.
Since it’s the military, I spend my days training, working, and exercising,
and before I know it, the day is over, and it’s time to sleep again.
It’s a repetitive routine.
— Jimin
He also shared the conversations he has with Jungkook before they go to bed as the duo enlisted under the “Companion Solders” buddy system and serve their military time together.
One thing that has changed, though,
is that since the year turned,
the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to bed have changed a lot.
Since the days when we can meet ARMY are getting closer and closer,
we’ve been talking a lot about what we need to prepare before we see you again,
what kind of image we want to show,
and what kind of life we’ll live moving forward.
— Jimin
The duo discusses their plans for returning to their life as active BTS members and what they plan to show to fans. However, Jimin revealed he has a little bit of fear as its been a while.
To be honest, there’s also a little fear.
It’s been quite some time since we all performed together,
and it’s been a while since I’ve fully devoted myself to music and the stage.
So, I do feel a bit scared,
but my determination to give you the best stage possible,
for all of you who have waited for us,
has not wavered.
I’ll prepare diligently, truly…
I’ll do my best to return in a really good state.
— Jimin
He ended with a new year’s blessing — and made ARMYs’ day with his cute conclusion to the letter!
To our ARMY, who I miss and am endlessly grateful for,
until the day we meet again,
please stay healthy and always spend your days feeling happy.
Wishing you lots of blessings in the new year, ARMY.
I love you. Truly. 💜
No, I mean,
I really do. hehe 💜
— Jimin
Fans couldn’t be happier to hear from him after so long.
