On the 17th, Jimin posted a photo on the BTS fan community Weverse with a purple heart emoji. In the photo, Jimin was taking a selfie with J-Hope, who had cut his hair very short and showed determination for his military service by raising his thumb. Jimin was seen embracing J-Hope and cheering him on.
On the same day, J-Hope also posted a photo of himself saluting and said, "I love you ARMY, I'll be back safely!" as his last message to his fans before entering military service.
J-Hope is the second BTS member to enlist after Jin, and he will receive basic military training for five weeks at the Army Training Center of the Army Education Corps in Gangwon Province before being assigned to his unit.
Regarding the exact date and location of J-Hope's enlistment, Big Hit Music said in a statement to Star News, "We will not disclose J-Hope's enlistment details, including the date and location."
