BTS’ Jin will soon be joining mandatory military services in South Korea. Meanwhile, BTS ARMY got worried when some social media users claimed that a new member will replace Jin for the time he will be severing the nation.
This news went viral on social media and since then fans want to know if this is true as they can’t imagine anyone replacing Jin. So let us tell you that all this news is false and baseless. The news circulated when a mini robot from Jin’s new album Astronaut was introduced on social media and ARMY welcomed him.
Meanwhile, Jin shared the first glimpse of his solo single on Twitter. BigHit issued an official statement related to the release of the song on Weverse. It read, “Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC. BTS member Jin’s first official solo single, 'The Astronaut,' will be released on October 28, 2022. Since it’s a song made with so much love toward the fans, we hope 'The Astronaut' can be a gift to all of you. We also prepared various promotions for the fans throughout the preparation process of this single.”
It added, "Please show a lot of anticipation and support for this promotion, where you can meet various sides of Jin. Pre-order date: From 11 AM, Wednesday, October 19, 2022 (KST) Release date: From 1 PM, Friday, October 28, 2022 (KST). Thank you."
For the unversed, BTS member Jin will be the first one to enlist, as per the official announcement. The move means that the septet will become temporarily inactive as a group. But, "both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment," said label Bighit Music."

The members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfil their military service. Group member Jin will initiate the process as soon as his schedule for his solo release is concluded at the end of October. He will then follow the enlistment procedure of the Korean government. Other members of the group plan to carry out their military service based on their own individual plans," Bighit said in a statement.
