BTS Reveal Their First OT7 Group Pictures With Jin Taken Before The Idol’s Military Enlistment
After announcing the postponement of his military service, it was set that BTS‘s oldest member, Jin, would be enlisting at the end of the year.
On December 13, Jin finally enlisted for his mandatory service and after the event, BTS treated ARMYs to an OT7 picture.
On December 11, it all became real when Jin shared a picture with ARMYs of his new shaven haircut. Despite the unique look, Jin still looked as handsome as ever.
Although Jin and the members didn’t come out, the media recorded the moments their cars entered the base and the good wishes from ARMYs.
Of course, after seeing Jin’s car go into the center, ARMYs couldn’t hide their sadness and emotions upon seeing the oldest member enlist.

Of course, the members were there straight away to ensure that ARMYs weren’t too sad. Within hours of it happening, along with some personal posts, the group’s Twitter account finally shared some group images of the members with Jin before his enlistment.
In the tweet, the group wrote the message, “Our hyung! Go and come back safely! Love you!”
In the photos, there is one normal shot of all the members lined up, with Jungkook seemingly being the only one wanting to touch Jin’s newly shaven head.
The next one was a bit more playful, with all the members having hilarious expressions while touching Jin’s head. If that wasn’t emotional enough, ARMYs also noticed that Jimin had dyed his hair what seemed like blonde.
Of course, when the images were posted, ARMYs couldn’t get over the pictures, sharing their emotions and how adorable the photo was. With the press forbidden to enter the grounds, this was the first full OT7 picture with Jin ahead of his enlistment.
