Jimin’s military pictures

Unlike RM and V military pictures and videos of Jungkook and Jimin were not shared officially. However, Jimin's dad shared a peek of an important moment in the BTS member's military journey on his cafe's official social media. He also shared a heartfelt note alongside. The note read, “Hello, I'm ZM-illennial, Did you all bring your umbrellas? Like it's going to rain soon. It's cloudy. For those who were waiting for the news of the rain, I'd like to send my comfort to those who were worried, and I hope you have a moist day.

The note further added, “If it's long, if it's short, it's a five-week completion ceremony, It's over. Thanks to ARMY's support and love, 1 year and 5 months can be a long time, but it can be a short time. Spring rain, rainy rain, showers, and heavy rain will be next to you

ARMY gave me a lot of strength

I heartily thank you.”
