BTS's Jimin and Jungkook pass through the gate of a military boot camp in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi, where they will receive basic training in black SUVs on Tuesday. The area around the boot camp bustled with fans who came to say goodbye to the K-pop stars and buses carrying supportive messages for them, as well as placards bidding farewell.

Jimin and Jungkook posted pictures of themselves with shaved heads on the same day on the band's social media accounts. Now, all seven members of the K-pop megaband are enlisted for mandatory service.
