Adding to the fun, he also did the 'frozen cat challenge.' The challenge is based on a years-old news clip that recently made waves, in which a cat was reported to have been seen walking on the frozen Han River.

Where are BTS members:
Jin is the first BTS member to complete his military enlistment. The other six members — Kim Namjoon, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook — are serving mandatory military duty. The group is anticipated to reunite as a whole by June 2025.
After Jin, rapper J-Hope will be discharged from the military this year. Suga is fulfilling his service as a social service agent following his shoulder surgery.
