BTS‘s J-Hope is set to enlist on April 18, 2023. According to Korean media outlets, who had received information from informants in the military, he will enlist at a basic military camp in Gangwon-do. After receiving his five-week basic military training, he will be dispatched to his regular unit.
Previously, his company, BigHit Music, had already announced he would be enlisting soon. J-Hope also showed off his shorter hair on social media on April 8.
J-Hope’s enlistment ceremony will not be open to the public or to fans in order to maintain safety. J-Hope is the second member to enlist in the army following Jin. Although the members were allowed to postpone their enlistment until 30, it was made known that J-Hope had canceled a request to delay service and continued to enlist ordinarily.
