Citing his recent involvement in the Republic of Korea Army, Jin declared in a press release that he \u201clike[s] handling guns too much to stop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This news came as a shock to local fan organization UChicagoArmy. Founding member Darryl Godspeed shared, \u201cmy heart has exploded like Dynamite.\u201d We were not able to get any more words from them before they stormed out of the room crying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a Tiktok livestream, Jin shared his future aspirations of ranking up in the military. He says that being a night watchman fits his more quiet personality, but that he hopes that he can start deploying more mines in the DMZ soon. \u201cWhen I made music, I could only imagine blowing up in an explosion like a star. As a minesweeper, I could be blown into space in the blink of an eye. Hah, that reminds me of my hit single \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Astronaut<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u2019 Because if you get blown into space you will be in space like an astronaut.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following his announcement, other BTS members have declared their intention to start solo careers in the military. Jeon Jung-kook, or Jungkook, made a special announcement that he would enlist in an undisclosed American mercenary company. \u201cIt will allow me to travel the world and see my fans!\u201d Responding to pleas from fans, Jungkook clarified that he would not give up singing. Instead, he would try to spread cheer, as he describes it, \u201cin terrible warzones where nobody is happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many pundits remarked on the news, including UChicago\u2019s own Allen Sanderson. \u201cThis is the best news I\u2019ve heard all day. Maybe he\u2019ll go out there and find Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop,\u201d remarked Sanderson.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt will allow me to travel the world and see my fans!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2087,"featured_media":5872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2087"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5870"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5871,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5870\/revisions\/5871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
