🐥 몰랐죠 정국이와 함께 하는게 너무 좋을거 같아서 동반입대를 했지만.. 최전방으로 갈줄 저희가 어떻겤ㅋㅋ 아나욬ㅋㅋㅋ
🐰 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
🐥 그런건 생각도 안하고 했었기때문에 아 좀 당황스러웠었습니다
🐥 처음 갔을때 그 눈빛들이 안 잊혀지는거 같애요
🐥 갔더니 “하 너가 연예인이야?” 이럴줄… pic.twitter.com/VGeUJ2efxe— 꾸달🐰🐥 (@Peaches_BTS) June 11, 2025
I knew I’d be happy to be with Jungkook so I enlisted with him… but how were we supposed to know we’d be sent to the front lines? We didn’t know.
I wasn’t really thinking about those details, so… It caught me a bit off guard.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the looks I received when I first got there.
When I got there, I thought they’d be like, “Oh, so, you’re a celebrity?” But everyone just looked at me with pitiful eyes and said, “Why here of all places…?”— Jimin
In particular, Jimin shared just how tough it was, sharing a story from his first few days. He explained that when they went into the training center in the middle of winter, he explained that it was around minus 20 degrees, and even the sergeant thought it was so cold.
🐥 to tell you a little depressing story, as soon as we moved in from the training center, the severe cold period started four days later. it felt like it was around minus 20 degrees. the unit sergeant said it was the second coldest time during his military service pic.twitter.com/lcwAgKxgsM

It seems like the soldiers thought their base was the toughest, so seemed surprised to see celebrities.
