- The Astronaut Music Video: Following the release of his single, Jin shared a music video for "The Astronaut." The video showcased choreographed scenes and an emotional message to his ardent supporters. This video served as a touching visual swan song before his military enlistment.
- Group Activities Before Enlistment: Despite his upcoming military service, Jin remained actively involved in BTS's group activities, including music releases and promotions, until his enlistment.
As Jin marches forward on his march to serve his country, his impact on BTS and his dedication to his solo work continue to touch the hearts of his fans.
