How Did ARMYs React? Here’s What They Said
ARMYs gathered in a discussion on November 21 and talked about the enlistment process of the four BTS members. However, the discussion narrowly focused on youngest member Jungkook since the idol is currently gaining momentum in the mainstream music scene.
Here’s how they reacted:
- “Jungkook is in his prime right now, what a shame.”
- “If you don’t think that Jungkook enlisting isn’t a shame, then you’re not a real fan. If you are, then of course you will feel like it’s a waste of his career.”
- “It’s indeed a waste for Jungkook, but it seems like he values his team promotion more. I’m not a fan, but I support Bangtan. They’re cool.”
- “What? But isn’t Jungkook’s solo (career) doing super well? It’s surprising that he didn’t do a concert. So he’s even enlisting in this tight schedule.”
- “What a shame for Jungkook. He’s been getting good records.”

On X (Twitter), fans shared their sentiments regarding their upcoming enlistment.
