It’s funny in a kind of tragic way how Namjoon has never hidden the fact that he hates military life. He doesn’t want to be there. His latest post on Weverse makes that very clear.
Like, yeah, it’s great that he’s a sergeant now, but he just wants to be a civilian. There’s nothing better than that! I’m sure all the guys are counting down the days until they’re out, but I don’t think anyone’s doing it quite as much as Namjoon. I feel like once this is over, he’s never going to mention this chapter of his life again—or if he does, it’ll just be to complain, ajaajajajaj.
What he said about having a lot to talk about—about there being things that are difficult to speak about now but that he hopes to share in the future—is interesting. It seems like military service has made some of them really look inward and reflect on things, maybe even question how things will change or work in the future.
There’s something about the way Namjoon phrased it that makes me think he’s been doing a lot of reflecting—not just about the band, but about himself, his place in everything, and what he truly wants moving forward. Military service gave them a forced pause, a break from the noise, and while that comes with its own struggles, it also gives them the space to see things from a new perspective.
Their third chapter is going to be very different, both personally and as a group.
By the time they’re all back, some of them won’t be the same guys picking up where they left off. They’ll have changed, grown, maybe even reconsidered things they once thought were set in stone. And that’s going to make their return even more interesting to watch.
