Recently, BIGHIT MUSIC made a detailed announcement of BTS’s remaining four members, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook enlisting in the military soon.
Since then, the members have paid special attention to ARMYs, spending time with them in their own ways before they leave. While the four of them did a live broadcast together on December 5, V and Jungkook decided to do more solo broadcasts before their enlistment.
On December 8, KST, Jungkook hosted a surprise livestream on Weverse, where he spent over an hour talking and singing to fans. Though the vibe was similar to his usual streams, it kicked off a little differently, with Jungkook walking around outside on the streets.

He mentioned that he had been talking to Jin over the phone right before starting the broadcast, joking that he sounded like he was struggling.

Yo, Jjin. I just spoke with Jin hyung on the phone just now.
His voice sounded like he was…dying LOL.— Jungkook
Jungkook then said that he has been working out diligently these days to regain his stamina for his enlistment. That’s when Jin appeared in the comment section, teasing him that he should practice the Armed Forces Bare Hand Exercise instead.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Jwekei~
Memorize the ROK Armed Forces Bare Hand Excercise instead if u have time for exercise ㅋㅋ
— Jin in the comments
He was referring to the morning exercise that soldiers have to participate in during their daily roll call.
+ so called “Armed Forces Bare Hand Excercise” is performed every morning during a military roll call before soldiers’s daily routine starts, and it is considered as a (streching type of) basic physical training excercise #JIN #방탄소년단진 @bts_twt pic.twitter.com/CkCAZViHBF

Jungkook broke into a chuckle reading the comments, and so did ARMYs.

Now that all his younger members are finally enlisting, Jin seems to be having a field day with all the leg-pulling. You can read about more of his “unserious” shenanigans related to this here.
