On Nov 23, Jimin departed South Korea for Japan for an overseas schedule. As it has been the norm whenever he travels out of the country, fans flocked to Gimpo airport to bid him goodbye and wish him a safe flight and a good trip altogether.
However, this time around, the crowd at the airport was particularly large and sentimental, which could be attributed to the fact that just a day earlier, Hybe had announced that the remaining 4 members of BTS had initiated their military enlistment process. Thus, fans felt it could be the last time they get to see him off before he leaves for several months, and they did not hold back in showing Jimin how much they love and cherish him.
Aside fromΒ showing up very early to the airport, they also brought banners with Jimin’s face and beautiful heart-warming messages, his official merch like ‘Chimmy’ and his self-designed ‘With You’ hoodie among other things like light sticks etc. With these, they hoped it would at least convey their hearts to their beloved idol.
