Prior to commencing his military service, Jungkook took a moment to connect with his fans worldwide. In a heartfelt note, he shared his mixed emotions, expressing both the heaviness in his heart and the warmth generated by cherished memories with the ARMYs. He acknowledged the bittersweet nature of the announcement, stating, "As I deliver this news, on one hand, my heart feels heavy but on the other hand, my heart warms up with the precious memories with our ARMYs coming to my mind."

Concluding his message, Jungkook conveyed his deep affection for the fans, saying, "I'll miss you deeply while waiting for the day we meet again and share new stories."
