BTS's J-Hope is officially done with his military service! On October 17, the beloved member of BTS (real name Jung Ho-seok, 30) was discharged from the Baekho Recruit Training Center in Wonju, Gangwon Province, after serving for 18 months as a drill instructor. J-Hope enlisted in April last year, following in the footsteps of Jin, the first BTS member to start and complete his service.

Big Hit Music had previously asked fans not to gather at the site to avoid overcrowding, stating, "There will be no special events on the day of his discharge." But that didn’t stop fans from all over the world. By early morning, crowds had already formed, with fans speaking languages like Chinese and Japanese, showing J-Hope's massive global popularity.

Despite the request, an unofficial discharge event took place around 10 AM, with police and officials working hard to manage the situation and keep everyone safe.

J-Hope's completion of his service marks the second BTS member to finish, following Jin, who was discharged in June.

Fellow member Jungkook, who is currently serving in the military, shared a sweet message on Weverse the day before, saying, "Since J-Hope is the first to return, I hope he enjoys everything he couldn't do while he was away. You've worked hard." He also joked, "As of today, Jimin and I have 238 days left."

Fans are thrilled to welcome J-Hope back, and everyone is looking forward to seeing what he’ll do next!
