Jin’s return a day before the band’s 11th anniversary has their fans excited. However, the fans of the boys’ band will have to wait to seem them perform together until all other other members of the band also complete their mandatory military service.

Jin enlisted for the mandatory military service in December 2022 as all able-bodied South Korean men are required to spend between 18 and 21 months in the military by the time they are 28 – a duty intended to maintain the country’s ability to respond to a possible attack by North Korea. Other members of the band will soon complete their term, however, their first gig post the military stint will take place only in 2025.
