Revisiting the Message BTS’s V Left for Fans Before Enlistment

V

As Kim Taehyung, better known as BTS’s V, continues his military service, we decided to revisit the emotional moments leading up to his enlistment. This is the second in a series of stories looking back at our last moments with him and the other members of BTS who enlisted this month.

On December 11, V entered the Nonsan Army Training Center in Chungcheongnam-do to begin his basic military training. V’s tenure as an active-duty soldier will last 18 months, with his discharge scheduled for June 2025.

V reached out to ARMYs through SNS

Before going to the training center, V reached out to ARMYs through social media. On Instagram, he posted a screenshot of a video call with fellow BTS member Jungkook, with the caption, “Hyung is going first. Enlist safely tomorrow.” This simple yet profound message highlighted the deep bond between the BTS members.

V also took to Weverse. He posted a message that read, “I think I’ll miss you all so much. Honestly, I’m sad that I can’t make happy memories with ARMY for the time being, but besides that, it’ll be fine. The hardest thing is not being able to see ARMY. After 18 months, I’ll return in really good health, so ARMY, take good care of your health, and if you spend each day looking for happiness, I will appear saying, ‘Ta-da! I’m here!’”

To ensure his fans wouldn’t feel his absence too keenly, he diligently arranged several surprises for them. “I prepared various things for those 18 months, so please look forward to it. As we always have, let’s make precious memories after I return. I will really miss you, and I really love you, so please wait for me until then. I will return soon! Bye!”

Looking Back on Jimin and Jungkook’s Emotional Goodbyes

BTS’s Jimin and Jungkook, who have been serving in the military for some time now, continue to be dearly missed by their fans, ARMYs. Reflecting on this, we are starting a series of stories looking back at our last moments with them before their enlistment.

Jimin and Jungkook had held emotional live broadcasts to bid farewell to their fans. On December 11, prior to their enlistment, Jimin appeared with a shaved head, symbolizing the beginning of his military journey. He also expressed his mixed feelings by saying, “I’m enlisting tomorrow, so I’m here. I’ll go and come back safely! Now that I’ve shaved my head, it’s starting to feel real.”

Jimin couldn’t help but get emotional

He spoke about sending off RM and V. “I saw Namjoon–hyung and Taehyung enlisting; they went in smiling! They said they’ll go and come back healthy. I miss them lots too, but if we go and come back quickly, the time of us getting back together will come sooner. I will be enlisting together with Jungkook, so I think I will be able to rely on him a lot. Yes, SUGA–hyung is doing well too! And Namjoon–hyung and Taehyung-hyung will do well. Jin-hyung and Hobi–hyung are doing well, and JK and I will do well too.”

Discussing his future plans, Jimin shared, “I’ll come back with lots of growth and work on the things I can! Actually, something the members and I said a lot is that we really want to tour together. Since Seokjin–hyung went [to the army], we’ve worked hard on our own things and been going at it. A year has gone past with us putting our all into it. We really talked about wanting to tour together again. We’ll do a lot of the things we want to do once we’re back! The members and I talk about how much we want to tour, do a tour, concert, release albums. Once we’re back, hopefully, that time will come soon.”

Jimin’s reveal of his shaved head, initially hidden under a beanie, was a poignant moment for fans. Despite previously stating he wouldn’t show his hair, Jimin shared this significant change with ARMYs anyway. He couldn’t help but get emotional when he did.

Jimin and Jungkook will serve together

Jungkook, on the other hand, approached his farewell in a more playful manner. In a previous livestream, he humorously sprinted by the camera. He later revealed just a glimpse of his buzz cut. In his final broadcast of 2023, Jungkook reflected on his day and the upcoming enlistment, “It looks like this will be my last live before enlisting. Today, I just sent off V–hyung and Namjoon–hyung, then ate a meal and did some things I needed to do, so the live ended up being a little late, sorry.”

Expressing his gratitude to fans, Jungkook said, “I’ll go and come back safely. Now that it’s the day before, my heart feels… a bit iffy? But I need to sleep tonight so I can concentrate tomorrow and stuff too. Everyone, thank you so much for all of you always cheering for us and supporting us until now when we’re enlisting. Please be and stay healthy and happy.”

Luckily, while Jimin and Jungkook did separate live broadcasts to say goodbye to ARMY, they’ll be together while they serve in the military, as they signed up for the dongbanipdae or buddy system. – K-Pop News Writer

Sehun of K-pop boy group EXO has announced that he will be starting his mandatory military service on December 21. 

In a handwritten letter posted on Weverse on December 13, the singer told fans about the news. “I feel sorry for delivering the news to EXO-L (EXO’s official fan club) so late,” he wrote, according to a translation by Soompi. 

“These days, I’ve been spending time alone, looking after myself and deeply contemplating. As a result, I’m greeting you like this [through a letter] without standing in front of you,” Sehun added. 

Reflecting on his solitude and introspection, the EXO member conveyed his regret at not being able to bid farewell to his fans in person. With this, he expressed his gratitude for the constant support of his fans. “I am really thankful to everyone who cares for me,” he wrote. 

Moreover, Sehun also assured his fans that he’ll stay safe during his service and will return as a better person. “I hope everyone stays healthy until the day we meet again. I will come back in good health,” he concluded his post. 

With Sehun being the youngest member of the group, he’ll be the last member of EXO to enlist.

Other EXO members, including Xiumin, D.O., Suho, Chen, Chanyeol, and Baekhyun, have all completed their respective mandatory military service. Meanwhile, Kai enlisted in May.

Both Kai and Sehun are expected to finish their services by 2025. 

Sehun in 2023

Prior to announcing his enlistment, Sehun has been busy with sub-unit activities with Chanyeol for EXO-SC. In the first half of 2023, the duo embarked on their Back to Back fan concert tour, which had several stops across Asia. 

Aside from idol activities, Sehun was also busy with acting as he starred in the series All That We Loved. 

As for group activities, EXO made their highly-anticipated comeback in July with the seventh full-length album EXIST. Said album served as EXO’s first album as a full-group in two years, following the extended play Don’t Fight This Feeling that was released in June 2021. 

On top of that, EXO also released the fourth season of their hit variety show Travel the World on a Ladder.

Jeonghan of K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN will temporarily take a break from participating in upcoming activities as he has recently undergone ankle surgery. 

On Thursday, December 14, PLEDIS Entertainment revealed the singer’s condition through a statement posted on the fan community Weverse. According to the agency, the SEVENTEEN member has “suffered an injury to his left ankle.” Although the label didn’t disclose when it occurred, they assured fans that the idol has been receiving “several conservative treatments” since then. 

Despite his condition, PLEDIS Entertainment shared that Jeonghan has been “highly determined to participate in all activities.” With this, the agency allowed him to push through with his schedule as long as he’s getting regular checkups on his ankle. 

However, the singer’s ankle pain has recently worsened as he continues to participate in the group’s ongoing FOLLOW concert tour. After a diagnosis from the medical staff, Jeonghan was admitted to the hospital on December 13 and promptly underwent surgery on the morning of December 14.

According to PLEDIS Entertainment, the “surgery was successful” and that the artist is currently recuperating. 

Following his current condition, the agency has decided to prioritize the artist’s recovery and rehabilitation first. As such, they continued that it will “be difficult for Jeonghan to participate in official activities.” Among the listed events that the idol will miss are the Asia leg of the group’s FOLLOW concerts. 

“We will do our very best to support Jeonghan’s treatment and recovery so he can meet the fans as his healthiest self again,” PLEDIS Entertainment said. 

Jeonghan assures fans 

After the official announcement, Jeonghan also took to Weverse to assure fans that he’s doing okay. 

“You must be worrying so much by now. My surgery went well and I’ll do my best at rehab,” he wrote. “But I’m okay so don’t worry. And I’m sorry to make you worried with things like this.”

Additionally, the singer also apologized to fans and fellow SEVENTEEN members for not being able to participate in group activities. “I’ll try my best to get better quickly. And I’ll try to get hurt less from now on,” he wrote. 

In the comments section, several SEVENTEEN members such as Seungkwan, Hoshi, S.coups, Joshua, and Vernon wrote their well-wishes for him. 

Aside from Jeonghan, SEVENTEEN’s leader S.coups is also currently on hiatus. In August, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that the rapper was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In October, the agency updated fans that he’s still receiving post-surgery care and doing rehabilitation exercises.

Because of his condition, S.coups wasn’t able to participate in the group’s comeback activities for their album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN as well as filming for the travel variety show NANA Tour. 

With two members currently on hiatus, only 11 members of SEVENTEEN are partaking in the group’s activities.

WEi‘s Yohan is poised for a potential comeback on the small screen as the protagonist in the upcoming drama When the Stars Shine. On December 5th, KST, it was confirmed that Yohan has been offered the lead role in this new drama and is currently weighing his options.

Yohan was offered the role of Lee Cheol Woo, a first-year taekwondo major. The idol can bring a high level of authenticity to the role. He trained in taekwondo for over thirteen years. He achieved remarkable success in the sport thanks to his father, a taekwondo master who served as his coach.

Yohan won first place in two youth national competitions, demonstrating his skill and dedication to taekwondo. These successes earned him recognition as a national-level martial artist, and he even received a scholarship in the sport. He had the potential to compete on the world stage, but chose to pursue a career as a K-pop idol instead. Remember when Yohan wowed everyone on Produce X 101 with those high-flying taekwondo kicks during his first audition? That display of his prowess went a long way in helping him secure a spot in the debut group.

Korean-American Singer Steve Yoo Wins Lawsuit Against Visa Denial

Korean-American singer Steve Yoo, aka Yoo Seung Jun, recently notched a big win in his own legal battle. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor, overturning the initial denial of his F-4 visa and passport issuance. This decision upholds an earlier ruling by the Seoul High Court.

Korean descendants who are foreign nationals can work and live in South Korea using the F-4 visa. It’s a multiple entry visa that grants them the right to reside in Korea for three years. However, F-4 visa holders do not have the right to vote in national elections.

The Supreme Court’s decision comes after a lengthy legal battle. Yoo first filed a lawsuit in 2015 after the South Korean Consulate General in Los Angeles refused to issue him a visa. In 2020, the high court ruled that the refusal was procedurally flawed. When Yoo reapplied for a permit, the consulate general declined it again, prompting him to file a second suit in 2020 to reverse the decision.

Court rules gov’t refusal to issue visa to Steve Yoo should be reversed

A turning point for Steve Yoo

The Ministry of Justice and other stakeholders are expected to discuss follow-up measures. If Yoo applies for a visa again, it won’t be easy for the consulate general in Los Angeles to refuse it unless it provides other grounds for visa refusal other than his dodging of military service.

However, even if he receives a visa, if the Ministry of Justice doesn’t lift its entry ban on Yoo, he will not be able to come to South Korea. If the government approves visa issuance and lifts the entry ban, Yoo will get to go there for the first time in about 20 years.

음악캠프 – Steve Yoo – Passion, 유승준 – 열정, Music Camp 19990515

Born in Seoul in 1976, Steve Yoo moved to California with his family at 13. He debuted in South Korea in 1997. With his powerful dance music, he became quite popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, he renounced his Korean nationality to become a US citizen just before he was set to begin alternative military service. That led to the ban and subsequent public outcry, as all able-bodied South Korean men aged between 18 and 40 are required to serve.

This recent legal victory marks a potential turning point in his career and relationship with his home country. – K-Pop News Writer

Kim Jung Hyun on His Controversial Past and Return to Acting

Actor Kim Jung Hyun recently returned to the big screen in the mystery thriller Unforgivable. He reflected on everything he’s been through lately during a roundtable interview with the press. 

In January, he marked his return to acting after a significant hiatus with the MBC drama Kokdu: Season of Deity. In this fantasy romance series, he impressively portrays dual roles—a grim reaper and a doctor—demonstrating his wide range as an actor. He prepared meticulously for both roles, focusing on the specific goals of each character and distinctly expressing their emotions and gestures.

Kim Jung Hyun described the challenge of playing two contrasting characters: “Do Jin Woo is rather static compared to Kokdu, and Kokdu is very dynamic. So I tried to restrain myself as much as possible when portraying Do Jin Woo, whereas I tried to portray Kokdu’s expressions bigger than what I imagined. However, as always, I tried to focus on the particular goal of each scene for each character rather than focusing on playing dual roles,” he explained.

Kim Jung Hyun on his 2021 controversies

Earlier in his career, Kim Jung Hyun made notable appearances in Dinner Mate and played the lead role in Mr. Queen, one of the highest-rated Korean dramas in cable television history. He also contributed to the drama’s soundtrack. Unforgivable marks his first starring role in about 8 years, premiering on December 13.

In 2021, Kim Jung Hyun faced controversies over his private life, including suspicions of being gaslighted by his ex-girlfriend, Seo Ye Ji. Reflecting on the media attention this issue received, he shared, “The pain that I suffered was momentary, compared to what my family went through. I just felt so apologetic toward them. There was nothing I could do to take responsibility for my actions, and I felt like I was powerless and insignificant.” During the interview, the actor was visibly emotional.

Despite the challenges, he found strength in the support of his family, friends, and fans. “When my guilt was at its highest point, I even doubted their support. But I eventually decided that I would try my best again, so that those people who are on my side can live proudly and happily. Thinking that I wanted to repay those people became motivation for my return,” he added.

His current outlook

On his current outlook, Kim Jung Hyun expressed, “There is no way for me to change how the public perceives me. I think all I can do is to not run away but face what’s in front of me, getting back up if I trip and remembering to not make the same mistakes again. I just have to prove myself through acting until the day comes when the public sees me for my work, and not for my controversies.”

Concluding his reflections, Kim Jung Hyun stated, “Some phrases that have helped me overcome my difficulties are ‘All things pass with time’ and ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. But maybe it’s about time I start looking up some more positive phrases.” – K-Pop News Writer
