Jin had left for military camp on December 13. The rest of his band members, RM, Suga, Jimin, J-Hope, Jungkook and V bid farewell to him at the camp. Nevertheless, to help ARMY to tide over the void, Jin had earlier recorded videos to be released for fans over the next few months. In one video he said, “Hello everyone, this is Jin of BTS. I won’t be a civilian by the time the video is out. But I am here in front of the camera because I wanted to leave you something, even if it is just leaving a message. I may not be by your side, but I’ll go looking for you soon, if you just wait a little. I’ll be back soon. That’s all for today. Next time when I have the time, I’ll share another video.”

Earlier, RM had talked about Jin’s departure saying, “Jin didn’t talk much. I think he had a lot on his mind, and when we went to the [training grounds], he said like the eldest member he is, ‘I’ll be back safely. I’ll let you know how it is after experiencing it first. What I told him was to please look after his health, he is so strong to show his strength, to do as he always does–quietly and peacefully without any accidents. I cheered for him that way.”
