Jin’s my favourite, I think it’s easy to see why people who work with him end up liking him so much, Chris being the latest example. I will miss him while he’s enlisted - I’ve never really followed k-pop or stanned anyone else who had to go through this so this is all very new and eye-opening.
I appreciated that Chris mentioned the enlistment on stage, saying that it’s serious stuff and that they hope it goes well. I think discussion about BTS and the military has been missing a bit of that - the part where it’s acknowledged that it’s very much a big deal to male citizens there, and that throughout the mess of the postponement and the government hemming and hawing over whether they met exemption criteria, the members and especially Jin were criticised for something that was somewhat out of their hands for a lot of that time (what he explained in his live). Sorry for him and his family to have experienced that public negativity for the last few years, happy he got a good solo send-off on stage, and hope he can go and return well.
