Big Hit Music Responds To The News Of j-hope's Official Enlistment Date And Location

As many ARMYs already know that j-hope is the next member of BTS to enlist in the army. He will also be enlisting soon this month and will be performing his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service for about a year and a half.

Because of this, in the past few days, fans around the world as well as the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an press are very interested in the specific time that he will be enlisting. This morning on April 13, K-media reported on j-hope's enlistment date and official enlistment location.

Before this source, K-media also contacted вιg нιт Music to receive a confirmation answer. Below is вιg нιт Music's response to press agencies when asked about the above information:

Since the end of February, after his 30th birthday, j-hope has been informing his fans that he has applied to cancel his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. This also means that about 1 to 2 months later, j-hope will join the army because he has met the conditions and reached the age of m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service.

The case of j-hope is also completely similar to the case of Jin - who enlisted in the army before. j-hope is also the 2nd member of BTS to do this, but previous fans didn't expect him to leave so soon. So it was a completely unєхpєctєd decision and made fans sob.

Meanwhile, talking about his decision to enlist, j-hope once confessed in a live broadcast that since Jin enlisted, he has seriously thought about this decision. j-hope also thinks that his early enlistment allows him to return early and dedicate more great music to his fans. He once said: "I think I've been thinking about this since last year. After Jin-hyung went in, I wondered when I should do it too. When thinking about it, I decided that the sooner I go in, the sooner I can return and show you soмєтнing good."

In particular, in a random live broadcast not long ago, j-hope also shared with fans how he has completed promotional plans for "on the street" - the last song before he enlisted. At the same time, j-hope is preparing mentally and physically for the upcoming enlistment date.

However, j-hope also expressed that he has not been able to tell fans about his enlistment date even though it has been confirmed. j-hope once told ARMYs: "I came to give you my greetings of thanks and let you know a little bit that my official schedules are almost over...There's so much I've recorded/filmed. I can't tell you in too much detail but the date (to enlist) is out but I wonder isn't it the stage where I need to start getting ready eventually".

But on April 13, a series of ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an media outlets cited m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ sources, reporting that j-hope will join an Army training center in Gangwon on April 18, ie. next Tuesday. In it, they revealed that j-hope will begin 5 weeks of basic training here before being transferred to the official enlistment unit.

Before the above information, fans seemed to be excited about that time coming and once again, they once again broke up with a BTS member and met again after 2 years. However, this is not information from the official announcement of вιg нιт Music and j-hope, so many people advise other fans to calm down and wait for information from the owner.

Meanwhile, contacting вιg нιт Music's representative to confirm on this matter, the representative of j-hope's management company quickly refused to confirm the rumors about the time and place where j-hope of BTS began to perform m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. вιg нιт Music's response included, "We are unable to confirm [j-hope's] enlistment date and location. We ask for your understanding."

Previously, in an announcement in early April, вιg нιт Music only noted that j-hope would attend a m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ training camp to complete his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service without sharing his enlistment date or location. Along with that, вιg нιт Music also asked fans not to gather at the enlistment location of j-hope and not visit him during his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service to avoid affecting his enlistment process. 

Along with that, j-hope this week announced to fans on Weverse that he will soon appear to say goodbye as promised. Therefore, it is not difficult to realize that the information from K-media is 95% accurate.

Finally, no matter when and where the enlistment happens, please wholeheartedly support and send good wishes to j-hope from afar!
