BTS members J-Hope and Jimin have reunited with their bandmate Jin, who’s currently fulfilling his mandatory military enlistment since December 2022.
Jin revealed that his bandmates met up with him in the military camp on his personal Instagram page on Saturday, March. 4. The photo showed the “Astronaut” singer sporting a close-cropped hair and wearing a military uniform, while giving a “peace” sign.
Meanwhile, Jimin wore a black sweater, jeans and a beanie, while J-Hope was dressed in a furry jacket, all-black outfit, and a green hat.
“Welcome,” he said in the caption.
Of course, dedicated fans — also known as ARMYs — were overjoyed to see the three of them together in the same photo.
One @seokjinism1 expressed their delight over J-Hope and Jimin visiting their hyung or older brother in the military.

A month after his enlistment, Jin promised that he would “keep in touch” with fans by releasing “videos and records,” in hopes of them seeing glimpses of his life as an active-duty soldier.
Earlier this month, J-Hope is set to fulfill his mandatory enlistment at an unknown date, after canceling his enlistment postponement in February 2023. His label Big Hit Music added that fans will be informed of “further updates” in the future.
On the other hand, Jimin will release his upcoming solo album “Face” on March 24. EDV
