Jimin's Musical Farewell Before Military Enlistment: "Closer Than This"

Jimin, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, has released a poignant new single, “Closer Than This,” as a love letter to his fans, the BTS Army. This release comes as Jimin begins his mandatory military service in South Korea, marking a temporary pause in his musical career.

“Closer Than This” is more than just a song; it’s a heartfelt promise and vow from Jimin to his fans. The lyrics, which Jimin penned himself, are imbued with affection and a sense of longing for the days when he will reunite with his fans. The song is a beautiful blend of nostalgia and hope, with Jimin reminiscing about past moments with the BTS Army and looking forward to future reunions.

The music video for “Closer Than This” is a montage of BTS’ journey, featuring clips from fan meetings and concerts, highlighting the deep connection between the band and its fans.

The chorus, “’Cause anytime you want me (I’ll be) / Right here where you call be (I’ll be) / I could never let you go, never let you go,” resonates with a promise of eternal connection.

Jimin’s enlistment, alongside fellow BTS member Jungkook, marks a significant moment for the band, as all seven members are now serving their military terms. Despite this hiatus, BTS plans to continue treating fans to pre-made content in 2024, ensuring their presence is felt even in their absence.
