Following the discharge, addressing the media and fans, Jungkook, as per allKPop, said, 'Thank you to everyone who came. It's been a long time since I've been in front of a camera, I didn't even wear makeup today, so I feel a little embarrassed. I'm not sure what to say. To the seniors who went before us, the juniors still in service, the comrades who were discharged earlier, and the officers who looked after us, thank you for taking care of us. We'll carry these memories in our hearts and share more of them with you over time."
