BTS’ J-Hope Surprises Fans With New Post About To Be Discharged From The Military

This Tuesday, 17th, J-Hope surprised ARMY (BTS fandom) after posting a photo and an emotional text on the eve of his discharge from the South Korean military service. The idol has been in the army since April 2023, and is due to be discharged next month, on October 17th.

Through Weverse, J-Hope sounded reflective about the end of his cycle as a military man, in addition to wishing a good Chuseok holiday to users.

One month. Exactly 30 days from now!

Time passed.
Now, I feel affection.
This is becoming a very emotional thing.

I organized my luggage, distributed my favorite items to my successors, and as I looked at the empty closet, the feeling of farewell became even stronger.

Thinking back, it wasn’t a big deal, but at the time I was so tense and nervous (even the sound of the locker opening would get to me back then, haha). Now, when I see the new recruits arriving, I feel empathy for them and even find it funny, as if I can see myself in them.

Anyway, I’m in this nostalgic mood, reflecting on my time in the military. And you know what? I feel proud and satisfied! Of course, right now I’m the typical veteran soldier, lying in bed while writing, haha. The holiday is really wonderful! I get to rest a lot!

I’ve been a bit long, but I came here to wish you a happy Chuseok. And coincidentally, today is exactly 30 days until I finish my work! I hope that peace is present in everyone’s family, just as I now feel tranquility within myself. Even though this Chuseok is a bit warm, I hope you have a very prosperous and abundant holiday.

May autumn come soon! Watch out for the falling leaves!

See you next month, on this very day. Until then, take good care of your health!

Loyalty!”
