With just a day left before BTS members Kim Namjoon and Kim Taehyung begin their mandatory military service in South Korea, emotions are heightened among the ARMY. The enlistment process is set to commence on December 11 for the two, while Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook will follow on December 12.

However, concerns have arisen as certain individuals, termed "Sasaeng fans" by ARMY (obsessive fans who invade the privacy of Korean idols), are reportedly camping outside the base site a day before the idols' enlistment.

This action has drawn criticism from the ARMY, especially after the members earnestly pleaded with fans and even begged on their knees to avoid visiting the campsite, considering the presence of other young men enlisting on the same day.

ARMY has taken to social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), urging these individuals not to tarnish the group's reputation and to respect the idols' privacy.

The announcement of the remaining BTS members' military service has been an emotional moment for their devoted fanbase. Earlier, on December 5, V, Jungkook, RM, and Jimin engaged with ARMY in a live session on Weverse, discussing their plans and upcoming enlistment.
