Thania Garcia J-hope of BTS has become the second member of the K-pop group to begin his mandatory military service in South Korea.
The 29-year-old singer had previously applied for an enlistment postponement but a new statement from Big Hit Music (the band’s label) explains that he has since pulled that request and will enlist in the military. “We would like to inform our fans that j-hope has initiated the military enlistment process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement,” said the note posted to Weverse, Hybe’s global fan community platform. “We ask you for your continued love and support for j-hope until he completes his military service and safely returns.
Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artist,” the statement concluded. Simultaneously, Big Hit announced the release of a new J-Hope music video and single titled “on the street.” The track is set to arrive on March 3 and is described as a lo-fi hip-hop track with a “hopeful message” and an “easy-listening melody and warm-hearted lyrics,” partially written by J-Hope.
