Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS, reached out to fans with a touching New Year’s message. Currently serving in the military, the singer shared his thoughts and feelings on January 8 through the fan platform Weverse. His words reflect his longing for ARMY and his hopes for the year ahead.
Jungkook’s Message: A Glimpse into His Heart
In his post, Jungkook began by acknowledging the delay in his New Year’s greetings. “It’s late for a New Year’s greeting. It’s Jungkook,” he wrote, setting a casual and heartfelt tone.
He reflected on the passage of time, saying, “The year of my discharge and the year we meet again has come. But I don’t think my feelings have changed. I’ve always been like that, so I just miss you.” His message revealed how much he values his fans and the strong connection he feels with them, even while serving in the military.
Jungkook also shared his hopes for growth and self-improvement. He expressed his eagerness to learn new things and bring something meaningful to ARMY, adding, “I wish time would pass faster. I want to say that I miss you so much that it’s a little overwhelming.”
Ending on a warm note, he wished everyone good health and peace. “I hope you can have a night without any distracting thoughts when you lie down to sleep. I’ll just wait a little longer. I love you.”
Military Service and Upcoming Plans
Jungkook enlisted in December 2023 alongside fellow member Jimin in the 5th Division of the Army. He currently serves as a corporal. His military service, like that of the other BTS members, has temporarily paused his activities as an artist.
Despite this, Jungkook stays in touch with fans whenever possible. Last month, during a live broadcast on military leave, he spoke candidly about his feelings. He admitted to struggling with self-esteem while observing the success of other artists. “I don’t know why everyone is doing so well these days. To be honest, my self-esteem is so low,” he shared.
Fans eagerly await his return, as Jungkook is set to be discharged in June this year. Other BTS members, including RM, Suga, V, and Jimin, are also expected to complete their military service in 2025, bringing the possibility of full group activities closer.
