Read below the translation of the full statement:
Hello,
This is the BIG HIT.
Thanks to all the fans who always give their love to BTS. Thanks to your kind consideration and support last April, BTS member J-Hope joined the military and is now responsibly performing his duties at the training camp.
Thanks for showing your interest and support the day he joined. Below is additional information for fans to take note of during J-Hope’s military service period.
Please refrain from sending letters and gifts even after he has finished his military recruiting training and is stationed at his military base.
If a large number of letters and gifts from fans arrived at the center at once, it would be difficult to store them and they could be easily lost. We ask that you refrain from mailing anything. BIGHIT MUSIC will help ensure that J-Hope can personally see any kind and warm messages fans leave on Weverse using the hashtag #Dear_j-hope_from_ARMY.
We would also like to ask for your cooperation during J-Hope’s recruitment training graduation ceremony. In order to avoid problems that may occur due to crowding, we ask fans to refrain from visiting the site. Instead, we ask that you take his words of support and farewell to your hearts.
We ask for your continued love and support for J-Hope until he finishes his military service and returns. Our company will also strive to provide all necessary support during this time.
Thanks.
please note that j-hope enlisted as an active duty soldier at the 36th Infantry Division’s recruiting training center in Wonju City, Gangwon Province, South Korea on April 18, where he is undergoing five weeks of basic military training.
After that deadline, the idol will be transferred to its official station where it must serve until October 17, 2024, when it will be discharged.
