BigHit Music has formally announced the upcoming military enlistment of Jin, the oldest member of K-pop supegroup BTS.

This comes a month after a Korean media outlet leaked the date and place of his enlistment.

In a statement on WeVerse, the agency said Jin will "not be holding any kind of official event on the day of his recruitment."

Likewise, BigHit also asked fans to refrain from going to the site as the entrance ceremony is a time to be observed by military personnel and their families only.

"We ask you for your continued love and support for Jin until he finishes his military service and comes back," BigHit Music said.

"Our company will also strive to provide every support he needs during this time."

Despite not revealing the exact date of Jin's enlistment,the agency's latest statement mirrors the previous remark of the singer wherein he subtly confirmed that he will serve as an active duty soldier in December.

The singer, whose real name Kim Seok-jin, had previously hinted on social media that he had been assigned to the front line.

All able-bodied South Korean men under the age of 30 must perform about two years of military service, mainly because the country remains technically at war with nuclear-armed North Korea.

Their agency, HYBE, announced last month that BTS' members would carry out their mandatory military service, starting with Jin.
