The singer turned 31 on Monday (December 4) and took the opportunity to thank fans for their unwavering love and support while also sharing the “important” update.

Jin also shared that he has attained the rank of sergeant in the South Korean military, much to the profound happiness of BTS fans. Additionally, he went on to address the enlistment of fellow members—RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—in his message to the ARMYs (BTS Fans).
