“We are always grateful for your unwavering love and support for j-hope. Our company will continue to put our utmost effort into supporting our artists. Thank you once again for your continued love and support for BTS,” concluded the statement.
After BTS’ Jin, J-Hope is the second member of the group who will be discharged from the South Korean military. Last month, J-Hope took to Weverse to mark the 30-day countdown to his military discharge. The BTS member wrote, “One month, exactly 30 days left to go! All that time flew by, but I’m already reminiscing about it, I guess I grew pretty fond of everything here. I’ve been packing, giving away some of the gear I came to cherish, and my locker’s starting to look a bit empty.”
J-Hope is scheduled to return on October 17. Following Jin and J-Hope, RM, Suga, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook are set to get discharged in June next year.
