ARMYs are worried about BTS‘s Jin.
Jin officially enlisted for his mandatory military service on December 13, 2022, joining the 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon County for his training. He won’t return until 2024.
The Korean military has shared a few official updates regarding Jin, showcasing him in his uniform in his first few months of serving.
Reportedly, Jin was assigned to be a teaching assistant at the 5th division’s recruit training center. He also was recently awarded a vacation after winning first place in the military talent show. So, it sounded like he’s been well.

Yet, an update has ARMYs concerned about Jin’s condition.
STARNEWS KOREA recently shared a video of Jin during ceremony, and you can even hear his voice. Naturally, the video went viral with 1.5M views and 531.8K likes at the time of writing.

The comment section is filled with ARMYs missing Jin. While some are admiring how handsome he looks in uniform or straight-up missing him, others are expressing concern for his shoulders.
In a brief moment during the video shared, Jin’s shoulder rises as if he was shrugging or readjusting himself. This isn’t the only time ARMYs have noticed something peculiar regarding his shoulders since his enlistment.
In another video, Jin is not simply adjusting his posture or shrugging. He appears to be holding that same shoulder as though he is in pain.
Jin has promised to update ARMYs monthly. Except for a couple of selfies that the army permitted him to post, his updates thus far have been in the form of pre-recorded materials. So, we can’t actually know how Jin is really doing unless he or another member updates. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious, though.
