This morning, a series of news sites began their article headlines with "j-hope (29, Jung Ho-seok), member of global superstar boy group 'BTS', preparing to enlist in the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ as an active-duty sold̾i̾e ̾r". ARMYs have been preparing for this ever since j-hope revealed that he has applied for a deferment of his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service but it's still really hard to accept.

ARMYs didn't seem to expect it to come so soon. But if fans are interested in watching the videos of j-hope's sister on the Mejiwoo Youtube channel, perhaps some ARMYs have noticed the time when j-hope will enlist.

Recently, a moment j-hope's sister a̾c̾c̾i̾d̾e̾n̾tally mentioned when j-hope enlisted in her latest Vlog becomes viral in fandom. Along with the news posted on April Fool's Day morning from вιg нιт Music, fans seem to be fully convinced that j-hope will indeed be enlisting in the near future:

On the 1st, the management company вιg нιт Music announced on the Weverse fan community, "j-hope will fulfill his required time with the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ by enlisting in the army. Please note that there will be no official event on the day of his entry."

Next, they requested: "The entrance ceremony is a time to be observed by m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ personnel and their families only. To prevent any issues that might occur from crowding, fans are advised to refrain from visiting the site. Instead, we ask you to keep your heartwarming words of support and farewell in your hearts." 

However, the specific date and time, and location of his enlistment were not disclosed for the purpose of making his enlistment plan go smoothly. At the same time, вιg нιт Music warned, "We also advise you not to get adversely affected by purchasing unauthorized tours or product packages that illєgαlly use the artist's IP. Our company will take necessary action against any attempts at commercial activity making unauthorized use of such IP.".

j-hope has been preparing for his enlistment after completing his application to postpone his enlistment until the end of February. He is the second member of the enlistment group, after Jin, who enlisted last December. Activities regarding his solo single "On the street" released last month are the final steps before his enlistment.

A few days ago it was reported that j-hope would be enlisting around mid-April after he turned down Becky G's invitation to perform at Coachella due to enlistment issues. He also mentioned to fans that it was almost time for him to enlist in a broadcast around the end of March.

However, some fans also pointed out that j-hope's older sister also tacitly confirmed that j-hope will be enlisting in April early in her latest Vlog. Jiwoo owns a Youtube channel called "미지우 MEJIWOO". The latest Vlog episode posted by Jiwoo was about 8 days before вιg нιт Music's announcement today.

This is a Vlog made by Jiwoo during his visit to his parent's home in Damyang. She came home for their mother's birthday and bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate the anniversary.

Also, a notable scene is when Jiwoo introduces Mickey to her viewers. As many ARMYs know, Mickey is the pet dog of the j-hope family and he currently lives with his parents. j-hope also loves this dog very much and often shows his love for it in front of fans.

When Jiwoo said goodbye to her pet dog Mickey and headed back to Seoul, she mentioned her appointment to see the little dog again in April. Jiwoo said: "Bye, I'm heading to Seoul now. Mickey, come to Seoul in April". This and the announcement of j-hope's enlistment earlier this month seem to make a lot of sense.

Looks like Mickey will go with j-hope's parents to Seoul and see him off with Jiwoo. It was the reason why Jiwoo said goodbye and promised to see him again in April.

Many ARMYs seemed surprised and moved to realize this from j-hope's sister Vlog:

- the earlier he goes the earlier he comes back

- I have a feeling it's gonna be April 4. Don't know why this random date but it popped in my head

- As we have an announcement today

- She gave us the information 8 days ago but we just watch it peacefully

- Mickey will come and send off Hobi to the m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ camp

- Hobie will be very happy to meet Mickey 

- It's really lovely when Mickey comes to say goodbye to j-hope before his enlistment

- I think that Hobie will spend a whole day hugging Mickey...so sad but he will be back soon

- It is time for Hobie's family, I'm sure that they want to have precious time together

- This moment made me sob
