BTS members Jimin said he and Jungkook are “doing well” in the military in a Weverse post, made to wish fans on the lunar new year, on Saturday.

“It's Lunar New Year’s Day, ARMY! Have a happy Lunar New Year and stay healthy this year. I hope you have a happy year,” the translation of Jimin’s post in the community forum reads.

Urging the fans, known as the ARMY, to not worry about himself and Jungkook, Jimin wrote, “Jung Kook and I are doing well, so don't worry too much and we'll come back again.”

The singer-songwriter concluded his post on a light-hearted note. “Eat a lot of delicious food and don't go on a diet today 😊,” he wrote.

Fans immediately flooded the comment section with their hearty wishes for the duo. “Miss you all so much 💜It feels very empty without bangtan you guys have my heart. Can't wait for the day we meet. Love you,” one of them wrote underneath Jimin’s post.

All members of BTS are currently serving in the South Korean military. While Jimin began his mandatory duties on December 12, 2023 along with Jungkook, RM and V had started their enlistment a day before. Jin had begun serving on December 13, 2022. J-Hope and Suga had started their duties on April 18 and September 22, respectively.

In December 2022, Jimin released his new single Closer Than This, the singer’s fourth digital single, following the release of Lie in 2016, Serendipity in 2017 and Filter in 2020. The song topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in the US, Japan, Germany and France along with 85 more countries in less than a day after its release.

Jungkook, on the other hand, released his debut solo album Golden, featuring collaborations with Jack Harlow, DJ Snake and Major Lazeron, on November 2 last year.

According to a statement by their agency BigHit Music, all members of BTS are expected to return from the military in 2025.
