As we all know about the news that j-hope will be enlisting in the army in the coming days, it seems that no one has any joy left. Even so, the moment of parting was inevitable and today, j-hope's last live broadcast made ARMYs seem to burst into tears.
A few hours ago, j-hope visited fans through a live broadcast on Weverse Live. While fans seemed upset at having to say goodbye to him, j-hope suppressed an emotional mood to comfort his fans.
Not only that, but j-hope made fans laugh with a recent funny misunderstanding between him and Becky G. That made the atmosphere of the live broadcast seem more cheerful!
On the night of the 14th, j-hope communicated directly with fans through the fan community platform Weverse Live. j-hope previously promised fans that he would do one last live broadcast before enlisting to say goodbye to his fans.
Along with that, j-hope also gave fans an update on his recent life before his enlistment. j-hope appeared with a short haircut and fashionable glαѕѕes. He's really handsome, no matter the situation.
j-hope said, "I asked the staff to cut my hair shorter to get used to my short hair before enlisting. I plan to shave before enlisting." He added, "Actually I’m not wearing glαѕѕes because my eyesight is bad. After cutting my hair, it felt like soмєтнing was ṃïṩṩïńġ and I was like “I need to put soмєтнing on”. I got tested though and my eyesight is so different between my eyes, one is like 1.5 and one is 0.7 or 0.8".
When asked by fans about his feelings before enlistment, j-hope said, "I was feeling, how will it be? But now, not at all. Time really goes fast. This time is here for me too." Also, when a fan asked if the live performance would be the last broadcast before enlistment, he said, "Probably so."
But then, he was also quick to comfort fans with an upbeat spirit. j-hope said that he will use that time as a period of healthy living and will be back with his fans soon. So he doesn't expect fans to be too worried and sad.
j-hope said to ARMYs: "Please don't be too sad. As a healthy young person of ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾a, I am doing my service, so I'll go and come back well".
Plus, when it comes to life in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴, j-hope has also received advice from Jin and knows that there will be some free time for the solďïệrs in fact. j-hope was thinking about using that time to learn English or do soмєтнing.
By the way, when talking about his English learning, j-hope also told a funny story about him using words. Specifically, it was when he was texting with singer Becky G recently. Some time ago, the singer contacted j-hope asking if he could come and perform with her the song Chicken Noodle Soup at Coachella on April 14 (local time).
At that time, j-hope received information about the date, time and place of his enlistment, so he knew that he would not be able to attend that stage with her. So j-hope texted back to Becky that he couldn't come due to his enlistment around that time.
It wouldn't matter until j-hope used the phrase "going to the army" and Becky G understood it in a different sense that he joined the army and worked as a solďïệr instead of a Kpop artist. j-hope only learned of this misunderstanding after J.Cole pointed out to j-hope that the phrase "doing m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service" should be used for the correct meaning.
j-hope then had to quickly correct the information to Becky G with the fear that she thought he actually joined the army. j-hope told it to ARMYs humorously: "There is a funny story related to my Enlish. I told you that recently Becky had invited me to come to Coachella. I told her that I was "going to the army". But I wasn't sure if I said it right. Then Cole-hyung said that he heard I was "doing my m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service" and I realized that was the right way to say it. I felt like sorry to Becky and texted her after that to let her know the right situation".
About this misunderstanding, many ARMYs have teased j-hope that he made Becky G panic with a sudden job change or in other cases, she might as well think he's become a fan of BTS :
