After concluding their South America leg of the Arirang World Tour, the BTS members had returned to South Korea for their down time.
The k-pop band began touring again following their 18-month mandatory military service. However, fans discovered that one of the members had returned to fulfil an important obligation as a “reservist”.
An eyewitness shared that they saw Jimin as he performed CPR drills and exhibited exceptional shooting skills.

He was also praised for his striking looks and long blonde hair.
“You could do front and back flips, you could even be going faster than a KTX (the speed of Korea’s trains), and you’d still recognise Jimin right away just from his aura,” one comment on X read.
The remarks noted that the Who singer “stood out” in the crowd and had been graceful in his movements when performing the CPR drill.
“According to those who saw him, Jimin was really good at shooting and looked like he was dancing while doing chest compressions. His long hair suited him incredibly well, and he looked so beautiful. Even from a guy’s perspective, reserve soldier Jimin was so cool.”
Fans also took the opportunity to praise Jimin’s exceptional performance in the military when he served. Jimin, who was a Sergeant in his division, was recognised as the Special Class Warrior.
It is an elite recognition awarded for high performance in combat skills, physical fitness, and mental resilience.
The Reserve Military training is another mandatory aspect for men, who have completed their active-duty military service. It is drill that they have to once every year to maintain military skills.
The obligation last for nearly five to six years. The former soldiers are expected to undergo intensive training for roughly one to three days.
BTS are expected to resume their tour in Asia from November 21st and head on to Australia before closing out the year. More international dates are to follow in the first half of 2027, which will be announced later.
