In contrast to Jin after his discharge, j-hope seems to have become quiet and has not participated in variety shows these days. Notably, right after his discharge, he flew to the US but did not reveal a specific schedule.
This has led many fans to speculate that he is "cooking" a solo album, a music product or even a world tour. However, recently, not leaving fans to guess, j-hope shared his true intentions when going to the US.
After listening to j-hope talk about his trip, ARMYs laughed at their previous speculations:
On November 12, j-hope appeared to fans for the first time since his discharge on Weverse Live. It has been almost 2 years since fans were able to see and interact with him live on Weverse. Of course, ARMYs quickly felt the familiar feeling of BTS members gradually returning.
As usual, j-hope greeted fans with a bright smile and a refreshing spirit. Appearing in a simple, dark suit and long hair different from when he enlisted, j-hope looked as bright as the "sun". It seemed like he had a happy break after being discharged from the army and that excited fans.
Notably, in his chat with fans, j-hope proactively mentioned the reason he went to the US right after being discharged. About a week after completing his military service, кσяєαn media reported that j-hope went to Los Angeles for a "personal schedule", causing a stir among ARMYs. But in fact, j-hope revealed that the trip to the US was just a trip for him to "stabilize his life" after enlistment.
He confessed υиєχρє¢тє∂ly: "After being discharged I wanted to adjust to this life so I wanted to go to the us and visit there. And I ate a lot while I was there". He also continued: "I'm staying here alone. and I wanted to try this, enjoying life in the us alone". Then, a fan asked him that: "Did you go shopping in LA?". He replied: "I posted on my instagram, and thats about what I did ".
And sharing about the recent trip to the US was also the last part of the conversation between j-hope and ARMYs. He ended the broadcast by adding: "Oh it seems like 15 minutes have pαѕѕed by without doing much. but after discharging I didn't have much thought, but after coming to LA, I feel like I made a good choice. I'll adjust here well first, and once I go back to Korea, I hope I'll be able to quickly adjust there too".
Well, it seems that ARMYs' previous speculations were a bit hasty. But there's nothing to be disappointed about because fans also hope he has a happy time of rest after more than 1 year of military service. ARMYs expressed:
