A fan wrote, “who was going to tell 17 year old jimin 10 years ago that he wouldn’t be lonely and sad when he’d enlist because he is with jungkook”, another said, “my heart is just beaming with pride.”Fans are pleased to witness the maknaes sticking together, yet they eagerly anticipate glimpses of RM and Taehyung in photos from the military app.

What happens in the companion soldier system?

Under this arrangement, which was allegedly guided by Jin, both, the Seven and Like Crazy singers will complete their basic training at the same facility. They will live together on the base after finishing basic training and serve their military duty concurrently. The trade-off for this system, which promotes support and camaraderie, is that those who choose it cannot apply to other branches of the military at the same time, such as the Air Force, Navy, or other organizations.
