This makes the calendar very likely to be a countdown, due to the estimated length of time he will be away to serve his mandatory military service.
jaebeom’s way of announcing military service
> dropped the SEASON HIATUS
> it includes the calendar and the dates are from Feb 2023 – Nov 2024, maybe a countdown to the hiatus
> will apparently be released on Valentine’s Day
> it includes 4 new tracks— lily | he✵ (@withgotseven_) January 11, 2023
Not only that, the name of the album itself also signifies free time for him as well as being a gift for Ahgase during his absence.
JAEBEOM REALLY DOESN’T SUGARCOATING ANY KIND ANYMORE. HE SAID IMMA GOING OUT, SO DEAL WITH IT. HERE’S A SEASONAL HIATUS CD YOU CAN LISTEN IF YOU MISS ME. 🤷🏻♀️ @jaybnow_hr #JAYB pic.twitter.com/wNctjO5AZ2

… many couldn’t help but feel emotional about what the album meant.

I know what hiatus means so maybe sooner or later he will leave somehow but it makes me emotional knowing he really prepared all this time before he left🥺 jaebeomahh you are really the sweetest

Ultimately, however, Ahgases takes great pride in his creativity, which always comes from a wise place.
JAY B is the only Korean artist I know who has announced his military enlistment by releasing a special album.

announcing that you signed up with a special album release was very very creative considering that the album includes a special calendar counting up to your release date. LIM JAEBEOM only

While the Ahgases know Jay B should enlist this year, it will definitely be hard to see him go, no matter when that happens. This album is the perfect thing to hold on to until he returns!
Fellow member Jay B Jinyoung will also be enlisting this year, having announced that he would be doing so in March after carrying out many solo activities planned. Read more about it here.
