member Jimin has unintentionally sparked fresh debate about South Korea’s military conditions after sharing a surprising anecdote from his enlistment days. The controversy began when a new trailer for the upcoming second season of Are You Sure?!, starring Jimin and Jungkook, was released on Disney+, teasing a moment where the idols briefly recall their military experiences.

Jimin and Jungkook's tough time in military

Their return generated widespread concern among fans, as many pointed out that even the group’s healthiest-looking members, including Jimin and RM, appeared noticeably worn out. This fueled long-standing anxieties about what idols endure during enlistment, especially under the pressure of national expectations, public scrutiny, and the intense demands of boot camp.In the new trailer, Jimin is heard saying, “I didn’t shower for five days.” The offhand revelation instantly triggered a wave of reactions online. While some fans laughed along with Jimin’s lighthearted storytelling, others expressed outrage, describing the admission as yet another example of harsh military conditions that border on human rights violations.

Netizens REACT

South Korean netizens and international fans have debated the military’s treatment of young soldiers for years, but Jimin’s anecdote has reignited the discussion. One fan commented, “So here they’re talking about their military days when they couldn’t shower for five whole days… And the way Jimin is cracking up while telling it… I can’t stop laughing.” Another expressed relief: “I’m glad Jimin is done with his military service and can look back and laugh about it now.”While Jimin and Jungkook appear relaxed and open while recounting their experiences, the conversation has once again placed a spotlight on the need for improved living conditions, mental health support, and basic hygiene provisions for soldiers serving in the Korean military.
