The current situation of BTS's Jungkook has been released. Jungkook's older brother, Mr. Chung Jung Hyun, released a photo through his own SNS today (19th). The photo was taken when Jungkook was receiving basic military training at the training center, and his handsome visual stands out even in the dark. He joined the 5th Infantry Division's new recruit training unit in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do on December 12 last year. He completed 5 weeks of basic military training, participated in the graduation ceremony on the 17th of this month, was assigned to the 5th Infantry Division, and will continue to serve as an active-duty soldier. On the 17th of the graduation ceremony, he left a short word "solidarity" through the global fandom life platform Weverse.

Jimin said, "It's been a little over a month. It feels long, but sometimes it feels like time passes quickly with Jungkook by my side," and "It wasn't a long time, but I really want to see everyone. I spend time with the members while checking their safety on public phones, and Jungkook is working hard to live a military life. He is very good at training and everyone around him says, 'As expected of Jungkook.' He is reliable and supportive." BTS, to which the two belong, is currently in a military hiatus. The resumption of group activities is expected to be in the second half of 2025. Last year, BIGHIT MUSIC, the agency, commented, "We and the members hope to resume activities with all members of BTS in 2025, but it is difficult to specify the exact time at this point." Jungkook followed the single "Seven" and "3D" released in July last year with his 1st solo album "GOLDEN," recording three consecutive hits and solidifying his position as a "global pop star." He also proved his popularity as a solo singer by ranking first on the main single chart "HOT100" of the U.S. Billboard and second on the main album ranking "Billboard 200." *This article is based on interviews with local media.
