A sweet message from BTS member Jin was shared with his fans on Sunday.
The video letter was prerecorded, as evidenced by the K-pop star’s full head of hair despite shaving it all off prior to his military enlistment last month.
“Hello, everyone! This is Jin of BTS! I won’t be a civilian anymore by the time this is out, but I’m here in front of the camera because I wanted to leave you something even if it’s just leaving a message,” the band’s oldest member says. 
“Currently, I’m shooting for ‘Running Man,’” he explains, referring to his SBS entertainment show episode that aired on Nov. 6, 2022. “Whenever I’m available, I wish to leave these videos and records once every few months to share with you as much as possible, even if it’s just checking in briefly.”
“I may not be by your side at this very moment, but I’ll go looking for you soon. So, if you just wait a little bit, I’ll be back soon.”
