BTS' Jin rumoured to join military service soon; K-Pop star and his agency reacts

Members of the South Korean boy band BTS are all set for mandatory military service, and its eldest member Jin would be the first one to get enlisted. While Jin has been keeping his fans updated about his plans to join the service, a report claimed the singer would begin his training on December 13. However, the K-Pop star and BTS' agency Bighit Entertainment recently reacted to the report and refrained from confirming Jin's joining date. 

Jin recently took to Weverse to pen a note for his fans regarding his military enlistment. In his note, The Astronaut singer spoke about the report claiming his date of enlistment is December 13 but did not confirm if it is right. He further asked the BTS ARMY not to come to the training centre as it could be dangerous if it gets crowded. 

He wrote, "There's an article out there that I hadn't planned on being published.. in any case, ARMYs, I ask that you please refrain from coming to the training centre. There will be many other people there and it could get dangerous with a big crowd. Army I love you."

The report left Jin's fans divided as many were sad he would get enlisted soon, while others were more concerned about his safety. A Twitter user wrote, "this cannot be emphasised enough but PLEASE respect his wishes and leave him alone," while another penned, "I feel mixed emotions, I feel sad because Jin will be enlisted soon at the same time angry because they invade Jin's privacy."
