“If letters and gifts from fans are delivered intensely at once it is difficult to store them there is a risk of loss,” Jin’s agency Big Hit Music said in a post on fan community platform Weverse Thursday. “So we urge fans to refrain from sending more letters and gifts.”
The agency said that the recruitment training center is a space shared by all soldiers and the purpose of the space is for military training, asking fans to stop sending letters and gifts to normalize Jin’s training.
“In order to prevent safety accidents due to congestion at the site, we ask that fans hold back from visiting and ask that fans support and encourage Jin from afar,” said the agency. “We appreciate the unwavering support and love for Jin that fans have shown and we will spare no effort to make sure that Jin fulfills his military service well and returns in good health.
“We will inform you about matters that require additional cooperation during the period of fulfilling the artists’ military service.”
Jin enlisted in the 5th Division Recruitment Training Center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi in December last year, and will be assigned to his permanent unit after completing five weeks of training. Jin’s expected discharge date from service is June 12, 2024.
