K-Pop superband BTS member Jungkook confirmed he will begin his compulsory service in South Career next month and thanked his fans for all of their support so far as he looked ahead to his \u201cnew journey.\u201d He wrote in a statement shared on Weverse translated from Korean to English, \u201cIt\u2019s already the end of November. It\u2019s very windy. I\u2019m sure you all know, so I\u2019m writing a short letter to you. In December, I will start a new journey,\u201d the 26-year-old continued. \u201cI\u2019m leaving you for a while to serve in the military.<\/p>\n
As I share this news, I feel heavy on one hand, and on the other hand, I\u2019m reminded of precious memories with ARMY, so my heart warms up. Every moment I\u2019ve spent with you has been the brightest time of my life.\u201d The \u2018Standing Next to You\u2019 singer said he wouldn\u2019t ask his fans to \u201cwait\u201d until he can make music again but promised to get back to his chart career as soon as he can. He added, \u201cThank you so much for supporting my dream and walking with me silently. I\u2019m careful to tell you to wait for me while I\u2019m in the military a year and a half is a long time, so I can\u2019t say anything selfish.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise that I\u2019ll be back on stage with a more mature side where I always am,\u201d he continued. \u201cI will miss you deeply in my heart as I wait for the day when we can meet again and share new stories. Please don\u2019t get sick, and stay healthy. I love you.\u201d Meanwhile, BigHit Music confirmed that as well as Jungkook, his bandmates RM, Jimin and V have begun the enlistment process. They said in a statement, \u201cWe would like to inform our fans that RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook have initiated the military enlistment process.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe artistes are preparing to fulfill their military service duties. We will inform you of further updates in due course,\u201d the statement continued to read. \u201cWe ask you for your continued love and support for RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook until they complete their military service and safely return. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artists.\u201d Suga began his military service in September, following in the footsteps of bandmates Jin and J-Hope.
