BTS debates over whether or not they should be exempted from South Korea's compulsory military service have raged for almost a year. Nonetheless, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that the group members and its parent company, Big Hit Music, announced the group's upcoming conscription after conquering Busan's Unexpected Arrival concert. According to the statements, all members will enlist once their respective personal schedules have been completed, beginning with BTS' oldest member, Jin. The announcement of Jin's long-awaited solo venture stood out from the rest of the interview. "I hope many people don't know this song," he said of rapper Lee Youngji's YouTube appearance "No Prepare." In his musical journey, the Korean superstar has gone from land to sea, now, space. Jin's artistic journey comes full circle with his brand-new single "The Astronaut" out today (October 28), which can be seen as the ultimate passion project.
