Big Hit Music informed that the BTS rapper will be going for an active-military service and there will be no event on the day of enlistment. The music company asked fans to keep the enlistment process a private affair for J-Hope and his family, and not to crowd the place.
The music firm asked the ARMY to keep supporting J-Hope and also promised all their support needed in the process.
