The group announced the new release from its member over the weekend on its social media pages.
The single is coming out while Jung is still serving in the South Korean military. He started his service last year in December. South Korea mandates an 18-month military enlistment for men from the time they turn 28.
Taking to Weverse, the South Korean singer announced that his service will be starting in December 2023.
“In December, I will start a new journey. I’m leaving you for a while to serve in the military,” he wrote on the platform.
Jung shared his excitement about joining the army.
“As I share this news, I feel heavy on one hand, and on the other hand, I’m reminded of precious memories with ARMY, so my heart warms up. Every moment I’ve spent with you has been the brightest time of my life. ARMY’s laughter, support, and love led me to this point. Thank you so much for supporting my dream and walking with me silently.
“I’m careful to tell you to wait for me while I’m in the military. A year and a half is a long time, so I can’t say anything selfish."
He promised to return to the music scene as soon as he is done in the military.
"I promise that I’ll be back on stage with a more mature side where I always am I hope ARMY’s lives will always be full of laughter and happiness. I hope you fill in ARMY’s daily life healthily and beautifully.
"I’ll miss you deeply while waiting for the day we meet again and talk about something new. Don’t get sick and stay healthy. I love you,” he wrote.
Jung is not the first member of BTS to release music while serving in the military.
In March, BTS member Kim Tae-hyung, who is popularly known as V, also released new music.
The single became his highest-ranking solo single on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global Chart.
It is also reported that on March 17, 'Fri(end)s received 4.728+ million plays on the first day of its release'.
