In the second half of 2024, after a long military service, stars are being discharged one after another. BTS's Jin, who enlisted in December 2022, is approaching discharge on June 12, raising fans' expectations. Jin entered the new recruit training camp in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, as an active-duty soldier and was the first in the group to enlist. He has since continued his service as an assistant instructor at the 5th Division new recruit training camp. In particular, he announced a hug event with 1,000 fans as part of the "2024 FESTA" the day after his discharge, delighting fans. J-HOPE is also scheduled to be discharged on October 17, 2023, after enlisting in April 2023. Recently, amusing episodes of Jin and J-HOPE, the first members of BTS to enlist, have been reported and gained attention. When Jungkook did a live stream on the global fan platform Weverse before enlisting, Jin commented, "Jungkook, please contact me." Jungkook replied, "Brother, wait a little longer. I have time to contact you, but I often go back and forth overseas, so the timing doesn't match. I might go overseas three times this month? I'm sorry for going back and forth overseas. Let's meet when I'm on vacation." Jin told Jungkook, "J-HOPE and I exchange 300 emails a day," eliciting laughter. Minhyuk of MONSTA X enlisted in April 2023 and is scheduled to be discharged on September 30. Following Shownu, Minhyuk, the second member of the group to enlist, entered the 5th Division new recruit training camp in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do. He performed various stages, including NewJeans' "Super Shy," at the "Ground Forces Festival" in October 2023, attracting attention. After the video spread, fans showed reactions like "He seems to have become tougher even after enlisting" and "I want him to be discharged soon and show a performance." In March 2023, Song Mino began alternative service as a social service worker, and Kang Seungyoon entered the training camp as an active-duty soldier in June 2023. Both are scheduled to be discharged in December, and when Kang Seungyoon is discharged, all members of WINNER will have completed their military service, and it is expected that the group will start full-fledged activities. During his enlistment, Song Mino attended his sister Song Dana's wedding in the United States. He walked Song Dana down the aisle in place of their deceased father. Song Mino's side revealed, "We went through official procedures and headed to the United States." Actor Nam Joo Hyuk, who enlisted in March 2023, is also scheduled to be discharged on September 19. He passed the military police corps and is serving in the army military police unit after receiving five weeks of basic military training. Before enlisting, he was active in many works such as "Dazzling - Our Shining Time," "Start-Up: Door of Dreams," and "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One," and there is interest in his activities after discharge.
