BTS' Jin gives New Year message, nears end of military service
MANILA, Philippines — BTS member Jin has shared a New Year's message for fans of the K-pop boy band as he nears the end of his mandatory military service.
The YouTube channel of BTS uploaded a pre-recorded video of Jin greeting fans, acknowledging that come the new year, he is now 31 years old.
"Did you all make a snowman? I'm still in the past so I don't know if it's snowing or not, but if it snowed, you have to make a snowman … and go back to being kids and do snowball fights," Jin quipped in Korean while holding a stuffed snowman.
Jin also suggested going skiing and snowboarding, which he reminded he's good at, and asked everyone to think of him if they do.
The video also served as a reminder that he is close to finishing his mandated military service as he was the first member of BTS to enlist, being the oldest among the seven.
"Wait just a bit more and you’ll be able to see me with short hair. I’ll grow my hair quickly this year and I’ll be able to start working hard soon," Jin also said, joking he wanted everyone to see his pretty, handsome face. "Now that it’s the new year, we have a few months left. Make a lot of snowmen and think of me as you make them... I miss you all. I miss you a lot."
Jin's colleague J-Hope, who was the next BTS member to enlist, posted his own yearend message on the social media platform Weverse, reflecting on his military service and promised at least one new song will release as he too finishes his service late this year.
Suga enlisted as a social service worker last September because of a previous shoulder injury, while Jimin, Jungkook, RM, and V all enlisted for regular military service in December.
