BTS, the globally recognized K-pop band, went on a hiatus to complete their mandatory military service in 2022. Ever since their fandom, popularly known as ARMY, has been waiting for their reunion. Almost all the members of the boy band are currently enlisted in the South Korean army, with only Jin and J-Hope being the ones to be recently relieved from their duties.
While the BTS reunion is still a bit far away, K-pop idol Jimin has addressed their massive comeback in his new fan letter to ARMY. The FACE hitmaker admitted to feeling fearful about performing again. “It’s been quite some time since we all performed together, and it’s been a while since I’ve fully devoted myself to music and the stage. So, I do feel a bit scared,” he wrote.
But Jimin promised he will prepare diligently for the big day, “My determination to give you the best stage possible, for all of you who have waited for us, has not wavered. I’ll prepare diligently, truly…I’ll do my best to return in a really good state.”

The fan letter also consisted of details about the conversations he has with his bandmate Jungkook. The duo have been enlisted under the ‘Companion Soldiers’ buddy system, which pairs close friends or relatives together during the military system. “One thing that has changed, though, is that since the year turned, the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to bed have changed a lot,” he shared.
Jimin added, “We’ve been talking a lot about what we need to prepare before we see you again, what kind of image we want to show, and what kind of life we’ll live moving forward.” He concluded the letter with a message of gratitude for his fandom, “To our ARMY, who I miss and am endlessly grateful for, until the day we meet again, please stay healthy and always spend your days feeling happy. Wishing you lots of blessings in the new year, ARMY. I love you. Truly. No, I mean, I really do. Hehe.”
