1. [+1,111, -26] I know there has been a lot of opinions thrown at them from all sides but he is showing determination through his actions by making a decision like this. The love for him in the future will grow even more than what he has now. I hope he serves healthy and strong.
2. [+705, -41] BTS has never said they wouldn't serve. They said multiple times that they would enlist... It's their agency who was concerned over their profits and a government trying to use them for their own needs that made a mess of this situation. So many politicians used BTS as fodders for hate while knowing that they would never grant them an honorable exemption... I'd feel disgusted by all of this and want to enlist if I were them, too. It makes me sad to think how heartbroken Jin must've felt to want to just enlist right away even when he has a few months of time left. I hope he serves healthy and strong...
3. [+361, -31] Now stop with the BTS hate. Korea is enjoying much better treatment abroad because of all that BTS has achieved for us. Please serve healthy and strong and come back to help Korea shine in the world once again.
4. [+241, -11] Good on him. Serving in the army will ensure an even more successful future. It may seem like a loss in the immediate sense but it will be highly profitable for him in the long run. I will support all of BTS in fulfilling their military responsibilities.
5. [+222, -6] They're going. So can politicians please stop using them now?
6. [+42, -1] Despite all that they've accomplished as a group, they got all this hate because of so many politicians using them for their own greed. What can we learn from this? That Korean politicians are trash! I wish they'd all just shut up and stay quiet.
7. [+40, -3] If only they had announced this a bit earlier, so many of the concerns and debates would've been put to rest. Their agency could've definitely handled this better. And let's please just get rid of military exemptions as a special perk altogether! our population is already on the decline, who will we have left to serve if we let everyone get out of service for this and that?
8. [+36, -5] I'm sure they've endured a lot of emotional suffering over this. They had a really tight world tour schedule lined up until COVID hit and tied their hands... Which would've been the perfect timing for them to quickly serve and get it over with, bug Big Hit listed their company and needed to gather investors on top of fund that huge building in Yongsan so I doubt the boys could've left to serve even if they wanted to. And all this nonsense with the politicians using them... Either way, they made the right decision in the end. Your fans will protect you where they can so don't worry and serve well.
9. [+23, -1] Our worldwide handsome-nim ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ please don't get hurt, serve healthy and strong
10. [+18, -0] Serving will prove to be better in the end, especially since not serving will follow their careers around like a tail for the rest of their lives...
11. [+20, -3] They're serving. Are you all happy now?
12. [+18, -1] They never once said they wouldn't serve. So everyone, please just shut up now.
13. [+17, -2] Can't they all just enlist together and get it over with at once? The maknae is a '97er so it's possible, no?
14. [+14, -1] BTS will not suffer in the army. They will come back healthier and stronger than ever. They will be even more successful after they get out~~
