BTS member Jungkook wrote a heartfelt letter for ARMYs before his mandatory military enlistment.

The 26-year-old idol expressed his gratitude for his fans' support and promised to return after his service.

Jungkook penned a letter posted on Weverse, sharing his emotions and addressing his military service.

"Dear ARMY," he writes.

"It's already the end of November, the wind is quite very cold. You all might already be aware so I'm writing a short letter to you. In December, I will start a new journey, I'm leaving you for a while to serve in the military. As I deliver this news, on one hand, my heart feels heavy but on the other hand, my heart warms up the precious memories with our ARMYs coming to my mind."

“The time I spent until now together with you guys were the most bright moments of my life. The smiles, support, and love of ARMYs have led me here and thank you so much for supporting and cheering for my dream and silently walking with me together. I'm somewhat cautious about asking you guys to wait while we do the military service. One year and six months are a long time. So I can't say selfish words like that but I promise that at the place I've always been, I'll stand on the stage with an even more developed form of myself.”

"Until then, I hope that our ARMYs' lives are full of smiles and happiness. And I hope that ARMYs' days are filled up healthily and beautifully. I'll be waiting until the day we meet again to exchange new stories and I'll long for you/miss you from deep in my heart. Don't get sick or hurt and please stay healthy. I love you. (Is it too early to write a letter... heh ahem)," he wrote, concluding his letter.

Recently, BTS members RM, Jimin, and V have also revealed plans for their military enlistment in the near future. Meanwhile, members Suga, Jin, and J-Hope continue their service.

Jungkook has released solo tracks "Seven" (feat. Latto) and "3D" (feat. Jack Harlow) in 2023.
