The handwritten letter read, "How are you, ARMY? I hope you are all healthy. Tomorrow is the day that I complete my basic training. It’s been about a month since I’ve been here, and although some days seem to go by slower than others, thanks to Jungkook being with me, it isn’t that bad. Although I haven’t been here long, I already miss you guys so much. The members and I keep in touch by calling one another on the public telephone, and Jungkook is doing really well. Jungkook is doing so well, in fact, that everyone keeps saying, Wow, Jungkook hyung is him. He gives me a lot of strength when I am with him, and I rely on him a lot. I will soon be assigned to my unit. I’ll do my best to do well. ARMYs, please be careful not to get sick, eat well, and think good thoughts. Anyway, I’ll write to you again once I am assigned to my unit. I love you." Check it out below!

Meanwhile, Jimin's dad penned a heartfelt note after the graduation ceremony and shared a few photos. Sharing a peek from Jimin's completion ceremony on his cafe's official social media, he conveyed gratitude to ARMY for their continuous support.

The accompanying note read, "Hello, I'm ZM-illennial. Did you all bring your umbrellas? Like it's going to rain soon. It's cloudy. For those who were waiting for the news of the rain, I'd like to send my comfort to those who were worried, and I hope you have a moist day. If it's long, if it's short, it's a five-week completion ceremony. It's over. Thanks to ARMY's support and love, 1 year and 5 months can be a long time, but it can be a short time. Spring rain, rainy rain, showers, and heavy rain will be next to you. ARMY gave me a lot of strength. I heartily thank you."
