Dear Gossips,   

Big day tomorrow, and I’m having a hard time believing it’s actually happening. Where did the time go?! 

 

BTS’s label BIG HIT MUSIC released a statement yesterday about Jin’s military discharge. We are just hours away from Jin completing his duty – 18 months, just like that! In the statement, BIG HIT thanked fans for their ongoing support of all BTS members but also discouraged them from showing up to greet Jin: 

“Please note that the discharge day is reserved for military personnel only. No special events are planned on the day of Jin’s discharge. To prevent any issues arising from overcrowding, fans are strongly advised to refrain from visiting the site. Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts.

We are always grateful for your unwavering love and support for Jin. Our company will continue to put our utmost effort into supporting our artists. Thank you once again for your continued love and support for BTS.”

 

ARMY however is currently losing it, not only because Jin will be out soon but also because it’s been reported by Korean media that the other six members of the band – RM, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – have asked for leave so that they can all get together to celebrate Jin’s discharge… which means… we might get new OT7 photos. And the timing could not be better since BTS’s anniversary is June 13, also known as FESTA. 

 

In other BTS news… there’s footage of V that’s been going viral the last 24 hours. V is a member of the Special Duty Team, an anti-terrorism unit. He was patrolling with his squad at the 2024 Veterans Culture Festival and video of him in uniform was shared on social media. An Officer and a Gentleman… and an Idol!

 
 

Like, I’m not here to choose violence on this fine June morning but… um… your western pop stars could NEVER! 

Yours in gossip, 

Lainey
