BigHit Music, the management agency of South Korean music group BTS, on Thursday, appealed to fans not to send member Jin gifts and letters as he fulfils his mandatory military service. The 30-year-old vocalist, whose full name is Kim Seok-jin, officially enlisted for duty on December 13, 2022. According to Korean media, Jin is undergoing training at a boot camp of a front-line army division in Yeoncheon, 60 kilometres north of Seoul. In a statement posted on fan community forum Weverse, BigHit said the influx of gifts at the training centre could lead to problems with storage and even misplacement. "Jin is stationed at a training centre designated specifically for military training together with regular military personnel. If a large number of letters and gifts from the fans arrive at the centre all at once, it would be difficult to store them and they could be easily lost. We ask that you please refrain from sending anything by mail," the agency said in the statement.
"Please refrain from sending letters and gifts even after he has finished his military recruit training and gets stationed at his military base," it added. ARMY -- the fan group of BTS -- can instead send messages for Jin, the eldest member of the septet, on Weverse. "BigHit Music will assist in making sure Jin is able to personally see any kind and warm message fans leave on Weverse using the hashtag #Dear_Jin_from_ARMY," the agency said. BigHit Music also asked for fans` cooperation during Jin`s recruit training graduation ceremony. "In order to prevent any issues that might occur from crowding, we ask fans to please refrain from visiting the site. Instead, we ask you to keep your heartwarming words of support and farewell in your hearts.
