It wasn’t the last hard time ARMYs went through as Jimin and Jungkook would be enlisting the next day. While ARMYs were first revealed after seeing Jimin’s blonde locks in the photo…
It didn’t last long. Shortly after the photos were posted, BTS’s Jimin surprised fans with a live broadcast, and straight away, netizens knew the hair had gone because of the thumbnail he picked.
At first, it wasn’t surprising that netizens expected to see Jimin’s shaved head, but they weren’t surprised when the ido appeared in a beanie. Although they didn’t see the shaved head, the blonde locks no longer peeped through the hat.

The reason that netizens weren’t surprised not to see the hair was because, during a past broadcast, Jimin shared he wasn’t going to let fans see his hair.
guys don’t expect any pictures from me hehe. I’ll go and come quietly. I don’t want to show you guys that side of me haha

Yet, as expected, Jimin wanted ARMYs to be the first to see his hair, so he made sure, like the other members, to share his shaved head with them. He looked extremely shy showing off his shaved head, but he undeniably looked extremely handsome.

Jimin might have explained that he wouldn’t show his hair, but the fact he did showcases his love for ARMYs. It is definitely an emotional time for fans but the fact that all the members made sure to communicate with fans until the last minute shows how much they care.
