J-Hope, a member of the group BTS, made this surprise announcement.
On March 16th, through a live broadcast on the fan community platform Weverse, J-Hope said, "I can't tell you in detail, but the (enlistment) date has already come out and it's time to prepare."
He added, "I think it would be appropriate to come back as soon as possible and show everyone a more mature image."
Previously, J-Hope had previously announced his enlistment plan after completing the application for the cancellation of his enlistment postponement in February.
In addition, J-Hope recently released a solo single 'on the street' in collaboration with American rapper J-Cole. The song was written and composed by J-Hope.
'On the Street' achieved outstanding results, ranking first on the iTunes 'Top Song' chart in 80 countries around the world and entering the US Billboard's main single chart 'Hot 100' at number 60.
