BTS member J-Hope just finished his military service and was discharged.

He is the second member, and Jin, who was discharged first, came to the front of the unit and greeted J-Hope.

I'm connecting you, reporter Kim Seung Hwan! Please tell us about J-Hope's discharge from the military.

[Reporter]
J-Hope left the unit at around 10 a.m. after completing his discharge report from the Army 36th Division's boot camp in Wonju, Gangwon-do.

J-Hope joined the army in April last year and has been serving as an assistant here.

There was no separate discharge ceremony today, and J-Hope said he was able to finish his military career well and healthy thanks to his fans after giving a show of hands in front of the reporters.

In June, Jin, who was the first BTS member to finish his military service, came to greet him and hugged J-Hope to celebrate his discharge from the military.

J-Hope is expected to move to Hive's headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul afterwards.

J-Hope is expected to express his feelings about being discharged from the military through a live broadcast of the fan community "Weverse" at around 1 p.m. and express his gratitude to fans.

Earlier, the agency asked fans to refrain from visiting the site to prevent safety accidents, so domestic fans could not see well.

Dozens of overseas fans, mainly Japan, China, Chile, and Italy, waited for J-Hope's discharge with excitement.

Large advertising balloons and banners were also installed in front of the unit to celebrate J-Hope's discharge from the military.

About 50 security personnel, police officers, and soldiers, as well as ambulances and firefighters were on hand just in case.The rest of the members serving in the

military will be discharged side by side in June next year, so expectations are growing that they will return as a whole by the second half of next year.
