BTS's K-pop star Jin begins military service
By Jean MackenzieSeoul correspondent
Jin, the oldest member of K-pop mega-group BTS, has entered the military service - the first of the group to do so.
The 30-year-old released a photo of him with his new military haircut before enlisting on Tuesday. "He looks cuter than I expected," he said.
As South Korea is still technically at war with its hostile neighbor North Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve in the military.
Jin began five-week training at a boot camp near the North Korean border.
After that, he would be assigned to a frontline unit. This news sent its millions of passionate fans into a frenzy.
