"We ask for your continued love and support for j-hope until he completes his military service and safely returns."

J-Hope will be the second member of the group to enlist after Jin did so in December 2022.
Big Hit previously announced that all of BTS's seven members would do their mandatory military service after the talks of their possible exception.
