The most attention-grabbing news these days is probably none other than j-hope preparing to enlist. He is the 2nd member of BTS to make his enlistment plan after Jin.
Although the fact that BTS members were known in advance, when the news was announced, it still made ARMYs feel sad and regretful. Meanwhile, j-hope is probably in a similar mood to ARMYs before parting with fans for a long time.
In particular, when receiving a question about attending SUGA's solo tour, j-hope had an expression and answer that moved fans:
With the news of j-hope enlisting in the army announced today by Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music, this is the second enlistment of the BTS member. Previously, Jin enlisted in the army last December under the farewell of the members. Jin is currently an äṩṩistant instructor at the 5th Division Recruit Training Center and will be discharged on June 12 next year.
Meanwhile, j-hope as well as the company has announced that he has completed the application to apply for the cancellation of the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ enlistment. Previously, j-hope and BTS members were postponed to the age of 30 due to the group's contributions to the country's culture.
The cancellation application also means that j-hope can enlist at any time in the near future. Further news regarding his enlistment will be announced as soon as the date and location of his enlistment is decided and officially announced.
Meanwhile, after the announcement of j-hope's enlistment was released, fans seemed to burst into tears because the news came all of a sudden and Jin's enlistment has not yet made them receptive. j-hope is the next enlisted member. Because of that, j-hope then quickly did a livestream to tell his fans about this.
j-hope said that he completed the procedures for the postponement of his enlistment today. However, he won't be enlisting soon and he probably still has some time until his enlistment date so he hopes ARMYs aren't too upset or worried about this.
In it, talking about his decision, j-hope 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."
Therefore, ARMYs also understand about j-hope's decision and support him. While some other fans were curious about whether he would be able to go to SUGA's concert before his enlistment, j-hope didn't seem to give a specific answer.
He mentioned SUGA's solo concert that: "Yoongi-hyung has set his tour. As a soloist, it's his first tour. I told him to not get ȟɥȑț and to complete it in good health."
Earlier, during the livestream for his birthday, there was an ARMY who also asked the same question to j-hope but at that time he had not announced his enlistment so j-hope laughed in silence. He also seems to avoid having to give a specific answer to this.
And his expression makes ARMYs sobbing:
- my precious sope
- Now this had tears in my eyes ..
- When asked about will he be going to Suga tour he just smiled d̾a̾m̾n ̾ it ȟɥȑțs more now
- Hobis expression? Why this is in my timelinne !??

Knowing that enlistment is inevitable for the BTS members, but it may still take a little more time until ARMY can accept this!
