The multihyphenate is the second member of BTS to start his mandatory military service, with Jin enlisting into the army last December 2022. While j-hope's exact day of enlistment hasn't been officially announced publicly, BIGHIT MUSIC reminds fans that the enlistment ceremony is a private event for the family and loved ones of the enlisting soldiers. The label asks fans to refrain from visiting the site, and instead support j-hope in other ways.

In a rare reunion of the seven members, Jin, RM, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook came together to send off j-hope and shared a couple of photos of the moment on Twitter.
