According to a Twitter user who translated the live session, Jimin had managed to see his bandmate after first getting in touch about two weeks ago.

“I got a break because it was the weekend. Jung Ho Seok (J-Hope) had a day off too. So, we went together. [Jin] ate really well. [Jin] likes food, but the amount is less than before. (But) I feel like he (his appetite) is back. We were eating together, and he ate really well,” he informed the BTS army.

Jimin added that he “felt good because [Jin] ate better than I thought. He has gotten stronger. His face is the same as before, but his body has gotten stronger. I thought he adjusted well (in the army).”

As the eldest member of the group, Jin was the first to enlist for his 18 months of military service, which he began in December 2022. According to Allkpop, Jin had become a commander in his unit and served as a training assistant, before recently being promoted to Private First Class. Other members of BTS are soon to follow, each within their own timeline.
