On Thursday (October 17), BTS singer J-Hope was officially discharged from his mandatory South Korean military service, after completing the required 18 months on duty. J-Hope becomes the second member of BTS to finish their military requirements, joining his bandmate Jin who finished his own service back in June. Jin, and over 100 cheering K-pop fans, were waiting for J-Hope outside the Wonju military base when he walked out in uniform holding bouquets of flowers. The two music superstars were seen embracing and smiling with each other, as the bandmates were reunited after a year and a half spent apart. “Thanks to the fans, I was able to finish it [military service] safely, with good health,” said J-Hope. “What I’ve felt for the past year-and-a-half is that a lot of soldiers are working hard, dedicating themselves, and doing so much to protect the country.” (Billboard)
