HYBE and its subsidiary BIG HIT MUSIC made an announcement on Monday, December 12 in which they explained that Jin would be entering the military as an active-duty soldier, in a statement that was shared on Korean site Naver and translated by Soompi.

It was also confirmed that there would be no "official event" to mark the occasion at the recruit training center, and the company asked media not to visit the site because there will be other enlisting soldiers present with their family.

Per Soompi, the full statement read: "Hello, This is HYBE/BIGHIT MUSIC. We are informing you regarding BTS's Jin's military enlistment.

"Jin will be enlisting in the army as an active-duty soldier to fulfill his military duty. As we have announced before, there is no separate official event on the day of admission to the recruit training center.

"On the day, the site is expected to be very crowded with enlisting soldiers, family members, and some fans. We ask the media to please refrain from visiting the site.

"In order to prevent safety accidents caused by on-site congestion, Jin will enter the grounds of the recruit training center while in a vehicle without greeting the media or fans separately. Due to the nature of the venue, we ask for your understanding that there is no separate waiting space for reporters.

"The agency will not spare its efforts and continued support until the day Jin fulfils his military service duties and returns in good health. Thank you."

It has not yet been confirmed when other members of BTS will be starting their mandatory military service. However, in October their record label confirmed that the members would do it according to their "individual plans" and they would be "reconvening as a group again around 2025."
