Their agency, Hybe Entertainment, had already announced that there would not be any official events for fans on the day the members were enlisting.
The remaining members, Jimin and Jungkook, enlisted the next day, on December 12. With their enlistment, all the members of BTS will be fulfilling their military duties and returning to civilian status by June 2025 to be again reunited as a group. Members Jin, J-hope, and Suga are already engaged in their respective services.
Fans all around the world were left broken with the remaining members’ enlistment. However, BTS did not part with their beloved fans before giving them farewell gifts. All of them shared pictures of their newly shaved heads, which created quite a stir on the internet. Everyone got quite excited about their new look but also realized that it represented a significant step in their lives. All the members also made sure to personally thank their fans and express gratitude to them.
Before entering the forces, Taehyung, aka V, penned a heartfelt letter on Weverse to express his love and gratitude towards his fans. He wrote that he is sad that he won’t be able to be with ARMY for the time being and will miss them. However, he promised to reunite with them again after 18 months in good health and asked them to take care of themselves too.

Bye!” Alongside this touching message, Taehyung also shared photos of his shaved head on both Instagram and Weverse.
Jungkook delivered his final farewell to his fans on a live-stream titled, “I’ll go and come back well.” Owing to his funny and playful nature, he started the live-stream by startling his fans with the noise of his dryer in the back. He laughed and told them that he was doing his laundry before his departure. He asked everyone to take care of themselves and stay healthy, and he promised to come back well. Reflecting on his enlistment, he said that his heart does feel a little unsettled. However, he expressed his gratitude to his fans and thanked them for supporting him all the time. He finally told everyone, “Hehe, I’ll miss you guys. Take care.” He saluted all his fans and promised to come back stronger.

Finally, he said that he will miss everyone while he is away and added, “I’ll be back before you know it.”
Lastly, Namjoon, popularly known as RM, did not forget to leave a heartfelt letter for his fans before he left for his military enlistment.
