Jin, the oldest member of K-pop supergroup BTS, was set to enter a frontline South Korean boot camp today to start his 18 months of mandatory military service, as fans gathered near the base to say goodbye to their star.

Six other younger BTS members are to join the military in coming years one after another, meaning that South Korea’s most successful music band must take a hiatus, likely for a few years.
