J-Hope of BTS Shares Feelings Ahead of Military Discharge

J-Hope of the group BTS expressed his emotions as he approaches his military discharge, scheduled for next month.

On the 17th, J-Hope wrote on Weverse, a fan community platform, saying, "One month, exactly 30 days! Time was tight, but now I feel affectionate because I have something called affection."

He continued, "It makes me feel a little stronger when I see the storage shelves, which has become lighter after organizing my luggage and distributing my favorite items to my successors."

Reflecting on his military service, J-Hope added, "Looking back, it's not a big deal, but why was I so nervous and rigid at the time? Seeing the new recruits who have just joined, I feel like I see myself in them, and I find them cute."

He described himself as being in an "extreme F state" (possibly referring to an emotional personality type) and expressed pride in his military life. "I'm looking back on my military life because I'm in an emotional state. I'm so proud!" he stated.

J-Hope also mentioned, "It was only time, but now I feel affectionate because of the affection," and "When I saw the storage shelves lighten after organizing my luggage and distributing my used and favorite items to my successors, I felt a little stronger."

Finally, he wrote, "Now, as a sergeant in his later years, I write while lying in bed. Even though I have a long way with my family, I came to say hello to Chuseok. Now that peace is taking place in everyone's home, thoughts fluctuate in my mind. It's a hot Chuseok now, but I wish you a prosperous Chuseok and send my best wishes to you."

Meanwhile, J-Hope is the second member of BTS to join the military, following his eldest brother, Jin. He joined the military in April last year and is scheduled to be discharged on the 17th of next month.

Message from J-Hope:

It's been a month—exactly 30 days!

It's been quite a time. Now, I feel a deep sense of affection. Emotions are running high.

I've organized my luggage, passed on my favorite items to my successors, and seeing the storage shelves makes me feel a little stronger. Looking back, it wasn't a big deal, but why was I so nervous and rigid back then... haha (Even the sound of the storage shelves used to make me nervous).

These days, seeing the new recruits who have arrived, I empathize with them. I feel like I see myself in them, and I find them cute. I'm reflecting on my military life because I'm in a state of extreme F. I'm so proud! I'm so proud of myself!

Of course, I'm writing this from bed now, as a sergeant in my later years, haha. What a great holiday!! I can finally take a good rest!

It's been a long time, but that's why I came to say hello to you during Chuseok. Coincidentally, today marks exactly 30 days left. Now that everyone's family is at peace, my feelings are also fluctuating.

It's a bit hot this Chuseok!! I wish you a prosperous Chuseok and send my best wishes to you. I hope fall comes soon. Watch out for falling leaves.

I'll see you next month, on this day. Please take care of your health until then!

With loyalty.
