It's nice to see that both of them seem to be doing well. I wish you a healthy military life!!
I miss you Kim Seokjin ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
This is an unexpected two-shot.
For some reason, Jin seems to be younger after going to the army.
This is amazing!
I hope they collaborate after being discharged.
Really really, how long has it been since they took this picture? I hope Seungyoon and Seokjin stay healthy!!!!
He must've been so happy to see colleagues from the entertainment industry in the army.
Seokjin is such a great person TTTT Seungyoon-nim, congratulations on your graduation!
Wow, it's a clash of worldviews. I'm so happy. I'm glad that they both look healthy.
Thank you for taking care of Seungyoon!
I got so surprised to see Seungyoon's name trending. I'm thankful to see a new photo of him.
When both of you are discharged, come out on variety shows.
It's amazing how he thought of the two fandoms and took photos together.
It's funny that he wrote about the preferential treatment.
I didn't know Seungyoon joined the army.
