Jin, the eldest member of the South Korean music group BTS, on Tuesday morning said his goodbyes to several fans across the globe as he enlisted for his mandatory military duty. The 30-year-old vocalist took to fan community forum Weverse to share his message for ARMY-- the fan group of BTS-- before he left for his service. 

"Now it's curtain call time," he wrote in Korean in reference to a character called 'Jhin' in the video game 'League of Legends'. "I wanted to do it when I went to the army," said Jin, who is a gaming enthusiast. On Monday, BTS management agency BigHit Music had said Jin will enter the grounds of the recruit training centre in a vehicle without greeting the media or fans separately.
