During his enlistment, BTS's Jungkook released a fan song and shared a message with ARMY. Today, Jungkook, via the global fan platform Weverse, began talking, "Did the song gift safely arrive? I'd be happy if you enjoyed it." On the same day, he released the digital single "Never Let Go." This song is a fan song released by Jungkook in anticipation of BTS's 11th anniversary. He incorporated gratitude for the affection he has received from ARMY around the world, saying, "Let's never let go of the connected hands." He showed special affection for the fans by saying on Weverse, "I made it while thinking about everyone (ARMY) from the beginning." He then revealed that he had planned to show a house genre dance along with the performance song, but he ran out of time for dance preparation. Last year, after his solo activities, he enlisted, so it seems that there was not enough time to prepare for the performance of this song. He expressed his regret, saying, "It's frustrating. I think I would have filmed it if I could turn back time," and revealed his frustration to the fans, asking for their understanding. Furthermore, he mentioned that BTS's 11th anniversary is approaching and expressed gratitude to the fans who have always been by their side, emphasizing, "I want you to always be healthy." Finally, he expressed concern for the fans, saying, "Be careful of summer fatigue," and ended his message. BTS will celebrate their 11th anniversary on the 13th. Currently, Jungkook, Jin, RM, SUGA, J-HOPE, Jimin, and V are all serving in the military. They will be able to stand on stage together after June 2025. Both the members and the fans hope for their healthy discharge and wish for their activities together. The unprecedentedly popular group is expected to write new records when they all gather in 2025 after their discharge. *This article is based on interviews with local media.

Reveals longing for members and fans [Jungkook's full comment] ARMY, did the song gift arrive safely? I'd be happy if you enjoyed it. This song was made while thinking about everyone from the beginning. The hook may seem a bit long and repetitive, but it was originally a song intended to be performed with a house genre dance. It's a performance song. However, I couldn't proceed due to lack of time. It's frustrating. If I could turn back time, I would have somehow filmed it. So, I would like you to understand that part, and leave this message. Anyway, the 11th anniversary is approaching. I am grateful for always being by my side. Please always stay healthy. Be careful of summer fatigue! See you later.
