They are known as the “Kim Seok Jin Team” shared a little message about the televised birthday commercial, which they revealed will be broadcasted December 7th on Mnet.

They also purchased an ad for YouTube that’ll run from November 27th to December 4th. It doesn’t end there as the YouTube ads will run not only in South Korea but in Japan and Indonesia as well! As if that weren’t enough, fans also went ahead and purchased ads in a few different magazines.
ARMYs have purchased an entire page to dedicate to Jin’s birthday in the December edition of Vogue Korea.
They also managed to get a page in Harper’s Bazaar to share with all of their readers. They are covering as much ground as they can by running ads in two of the hottest magazines.
Lastly, fans also managed to get a birthday ad in the newspaper so that citizens of all ages can celebrate Jin’s birthday.
With all these ads, we have a feeling that everyone will know that December 4th is Jin’s birthday, whether they want to or not.
Happy birthday to Jin of BTS! You deserve all the love.

Big Hit to try to postpone military enlistment for Jin to the end of 2021
Big Hit Entertainment said they expect to postpone the enlistment of Jin, the oldest member of BTS until the end of next year.
According to a stock report submitted by Big Hit Entertainment to the Financial Services Commission for the listing on KOSPI on September 2, the company's opinion on BTS's military enlistment was included among the investment risk factors.
"There is a risk of suspension of activities of our main artists due to their enlistment in the military," Big Hit said. "Our main artist, BTS, is composed of members who were born between 1992 and 1997, and we believe that Kim Seok Jin (Jin), the oldest member, will be able to delay his enlistment under the Military Service Act until the end of 2021."
Nevertheless, they added, "The timing and method of military enlistment of the BTS members, including Jin, have not been decided as of the date of submitting the stock report, and may be affected by variables such as whether the Military Manpower Administration allows the postponement or not, as well as the revision of the Military Service Act in the future."
"We will continue to expand the proportion of sales which do not involve the artists' direct activities, such as MD, licensing, and video content sales, to prepare for the risk of discontinuation of artists' activities due to military enlistment, disease, and accidents, and to minimize the risk of reducing sales due to the scheduled absence of major artists such as military enlistment," Big Hit announced.
