Jin, the oldest member of the South Korean boy band BTS, began his military service on December 13. And now, days after he left for his mandatory military service, his photo from the booth has gone viral on the internet.
On Friday, Jin's photo from the military wearing his uniform started doing the rounds on the internet. As soon as the picture went viral, the BTS ARMY went berserk and flooded Twitter with their reactions.
In the photo, the tag on Jin's uniform reads, "The eleventh division, The second platoon, Team 5 46 - Kim Seokjin."
One user said, "All I want for Christmas is Jin's safety and happiness." Another fan wrote, "He looks as handsome in buzz cut as with long hair.... come back soon jinnie."
