Netizens React To The News Of j-hope's Enlistment

This morning's news headline in the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an entertainment industry was not üńệẍṗệċẗệď, it was the news of j-hope preparing to enlist next after Jin's enlistment. j-hope surprised and moved fans with this decision after a series of content that he has devoted to fans in the past time.

Although knowing that the enlistment of BTS members will be conducted in the near future and not only him but also many other members, fans also have many different emotions. Not only that, netizens also had many reactions to the news of j-hope's enlistment.

Here is a summary of Knets' reactions to j-hope's enlistment:

On the 26th, вιg нιт Music, the management company, announced through a notice posted on the fan platform Weverse that “We would like to inform our fans that j-hope has initiated the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ enlistment process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement.". At that time, the exact enlistment schedule has not been determined yet.About 2 months from now, the enlistment date and location will probably be announced.

j-hope's enlistment is the second after Jin, the oldest, who first enlisted in the group last December. j-hope was born in 1994, according to the revised Military Service Law 2020, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism suggested that he postpone his enlistment, and his enlistment was postponed until the end of 2024, when he turned 30 years old.

But like what BTS and вιg нιт Music announced earlier, BTS will in turn perform their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service with the hope of meeting again in 2025. To keep up with this reunion time, j-hope will enlist as an active-duty soldíєr as soon as there is a notice of enlistment from the army.

Prior to that, in December last year, Jin joined the 5th Infantry Division Recruit Training Battalion in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do and after training, he was selected as a training αssistant and is serving as This. Jin's enlistment opened the first chapter in chapter 2 of BTS and j-hope is continuing it after successfully completing his individual plans.

In July last year, j-hope released the solo track 'MORE' and the album 'Jack In The Box' and became the first of the 7 members to officially start their solo career. In the same month, he performed on stage as the first ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an lead (sign performer) at the major äṃệŕïċän music festival 'Lollapalooza'.

In addition, during the year-end and New Year holidays, he performed on ABC TV's popular New Year's Eve show 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' at Times Square in New York, USA. He continues his active personal activities when collaborating with Crush, participating in famous fashion shows and most recently becoming a brand ambαssador of the world's leading luxury brand Louis Vuitton.

Fans seem to be in the flow waiting for more entertainment content from j-hope and even a solo concert of his like SUGA is about to do because the time for j-hope is still too much. However, with this decision, many fans and netizens also expressed their support and admiration for his actions:

- I am so sad first jin now jhope. but I respect their decision to serve their country as koreans do and I am proud of them too. I hope jhope be safe and healthy I will miss our sunshine sm.

- Sunshine please take care. ARMYs just want to see you safe so please take care and come back quickly. WE LOVE U HOBI

- I was prepared for Jin to enlist of course but this announcement came out of nowhere. I'm very glad he is serving his country though. Whatever happens, he will be back with all of the BTS boys better than ever :)

- Im proud of J Hope I knew he would be the next to enlist After Jin . I hope he keeps safe and he copes well in the miltary I know Jin is doing well and he’s happy but I’m not so sure hope J Hope will cope. he will be in training for 5 weeks . And training is not easy it’s tough. every time I heard about the miltary before it scared me as it made me worry for the guys but now I have come to terms with the fact BTS want to serve there country. They have been fully prepared for years. So has the company. All I want is j Hope to be healthy and to eat healthy and to stay postive. It’s going to be strange at first being Around people he doesn’t know but he will adjust to it I just wish it wasn’t for 2 years I hope the member's get to see J Hope off the day of his enlistment in private as people filmed Jin s enlistment when it should of been more private cameras shouldn’t of been there. I respect his choice and everyone else should as well take care j Hope miss you.I understand about the miltary more now than I did before. It’s going to be tough for them. 

- Weverse Notification always got me off guard these days.. I’m sad but I’m proud, go get them sunshine.. Take care and come back healthyWe love you and we’ll be here waiting for you!

- I think they are doing it in the order of their album and solo activities. Is RM next then? Jimin? And Suga?

- A little bit sooner then expected but we all knew they said 2025 which means they are going sooner then expected. I just was expecting Suga next not Hobi. I hope he stays safe.

- He is a man. His decision is seriously considered. Just wait for his birthday to pαss. It will be hard! The good news is that they will be together with Jin!

- I was looking forward to a solo concert by j-hope since he finished his solo album and has a mixtape, but maybe he will do it later

- It may seem a bit early for us but it's the right time for him and BTS, respecting j-hope's decision

- He could have postponed it until next year and did a concert during his peak popularity but in the end he chose to enlist because of the members and fandom, respect him.

- What omg I just woke up. hobi is next for the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service pls THEY ALREADY GOT THE MOON DO NOT TAKE OUR SUN TOO

- I wish u all the happiness! Be healthy and never get ȟɥȑț!!! I will become a more wonderful person when u finish ur m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service!!! I love u I love u!Forever a j-hope fan!!!!

- We wish Hoseok only the best health and safety while he fulfills his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service! The m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ could use some sunshine
