At the age of 28, with his recent solo album 'FACE,' Jimin appears to be contemplating a significant step in his life. During his live session on Weverse, he appeared in a brown wool crewneck sweater, revealing his exhaustion from a sleepless night.

In a light-hearted moment, he unveiled a duck-shaped face cake, playfully smashing the first part with a hammer to unveil its humorous appearance.

Throughout the livestream, he encouraged fans to smile and laugh, alluding to the possibility of one day shaving his head due to a potential military enlistment.

As the realization that Jimin might soon enlist in the military sank in, it stirred emotions among ARMY, who flooded X (formerly known as Twitter) with heartfelt requests for him to stay.

BTS members are currently navigating the second chapter of their careers, prioritizing solo ventures as they gradually fulfil their South Korean military enlistment duties. With Jin, J-hope, and Suga already serving in the military, the focus now shifts to Jimin, raising concerns about when he might embark on his service.

As for the reaction among fans to Jimin's playful comments about potentially shaving his head one day, there have been subtle hints suggesting that the remaining four members, namely Jungkook, Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Kim Namjoon, might choose to enlist together for their military service.
