On February 26, BIGHIT MUSIC announced the J-Hope is the next BTS member preparing to enlist into the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷, following Jin, who enlisted last December.
ARMYs were completely caught off guard with this announcement, just like the last time. When Jin’s announcement came out, the reactions were all over the different stages of ġŕïệḟ. And this time, too, the same ranges of emotions are at play while fans deal with the news.
1. The barter offers came out again.
@onlyjksrapmon: he’s so noisy he will probably warn the enemy just take me instead.
2. The fear of “Hello, This is BIGHIT MUSIC” is real.
@JINK997" i have one fear:
@userbfIy: “hello, this is bigh̾i̾t ̾ music.” followed by the best news you ever heard or somєthing that will make you backflip in traffic, no in between
3. Holding onto J-Hope’s consolation for dear life.
@ot7enthusiast:Hobi said the sooner he goes to m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ the sooner he'll be able to come back that's why he has been wrapping up things and preparing for presents already for us.
