Today, officially following in the footsteps of Jin, j-hope becomes the 2nd member of BTS to perform his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service. Since early this morning, K-media was present at Gangwon - Baekho Unit m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ training center to report on the situation here.

A few minutes ago, the ḳöŕệän press reported that j-hope appeared at the main gate of the unit under the escort of members and family. Along with that, the scene where Jin enlisted was also described by reporters present at the scene.

The press reported that the enlistment took place much more orderly than expected. It's thanks to ARMY's cooperation with wishes from afar to keep BTS safe. Here is the emotional moment when j-hope, BTS members and family entered the gate of the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ center:

Today, April 18, 2023, j-hope will begin his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service by joining the Military Recruit Training Center of Division A located in Gangwon-do. Thus, j-hope is the second BTS member to enlist as an active sold̾i̾e ̾r after the eldest Jin.

Jin enlisted in the army last December and is currently an äṩṩistant coach at the 5th Infantry Division Recruit Training Center. Meanwhile, j-hope will begin his 5 weeks of basic training at Baekho Unit before being deployed to his official m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ unit to perform his service as an active-duty sold̾i̾e ̾r.

On the previous day, April 17, j-hope posted a few photos on Weverse to officially say goodbye to fans: "I'll go and come back healthily!". In the published photos are handwritten words "Love you, ARMY, I'll be okay!" and a photo of his shaved head before enlistment.

Meanwhile, at around 2 pm (KST) today, j-hope will officially attend the enlistment ceremony with hundreds of other sold̾i̾e ̾rs at the Gangwon training camp. Besides, there were also the family and friends of the rookies who came to see them off. The scene of the training camp is quite peaceful thanks to the good protection from the barracks as well as the locality. Meanwhile, it was pouring rain, so more attention should be paid to safety.

Previously, HYBE and Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music have repeatedly announced that they will not hold any special events on the day of j-hope's enlistment, and asked fans to limit their visits to the barracks to ensure order. Thanks to the experience from the last time Jin enlisted, ARMYs really respect the decision of j-hope and the company. Most of the ARMYs sent off j-hope with all their hearts.

Meanwhile, under the arrangement of the army, the domestic and foreign media have stood in their proper positions and maintained order to report on j-hope. The appearance of many major news agencies in the world in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ area shows the global influence of j-hope.

K-media mentioned j-hope quietly entered the rookie training school in a black car without revealing his face. Following j-hope's car are cars carrying members such as SUGA, Jungkook, Jimin, V, RM, and j-hope's family to the enlistment area. Specifically, Jin - who is on duty also reported appearing at the training center for sending j-hope off. The reporters also mention that Bang Shi Hyuk also comes for j-hope's enlistment too, at the same time as BTS members.

According to what the reporter recorded, there were about 5 or 6 vans accompanying j-hope. Meanwhile, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music's agency revealed their warm friendship by revealing to Maeil Business, Daily Star that "All the members of BTS went with j-hope to the training camp to see him off."

Except for Jin who is completing his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service, even Jungkook returned from his schedule from the US yesterday to appear with j-hope. This made fans constantly touched and sent many wishes to j-hope. Hopefully he will finish his enlistment safely and healthily!

j-hope will complete his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service on October 17, 2024 and return to his musical activities. Please give him many good wishes and support in the future!
