BTS fans, commonly known as the ARMY, expressed their fury after reports about Jungkook’s military diary being leaked on Instagram spread rapidly on social media. It is rumoured that Jungkook’s senior, with whom the BTS member was serving in the military, leaked his military diary on Instagram.
The leaked diary reportedly contains private details such as schedules and locker information. In South Korea, leaking such diaries is a violation that could lead to legal consequences for the individual responsible. Following the news circulating on social media, many fans voiced their concern for Jungkook’s safety. However, some fans questioned the authenticity of the story.
A fan wrote, “🚨 URGENT 🚨 Jungkook’s senior serving in the same unit leaked JK’s military service diary on his IG account. This is punishable by law in Korea. Don’t share it because it’s without his consent and it’s only to be seen by the military. This is what my Korean friend told me:.”

In South Korea, every able-bodied man is required to enlist for mandatory military service, which lasts for over eighteen months, depending on the assigned department. Jungkook joined the military on December 12, 2023, along with another BTS member, Jimin.
