J-Hope, a member of South Korean Kpop group BTS, has already set a date to leave for his mandatory military service. The Idol will not be able to say goodbye to his fans in person, as this type of meeting is forbidden and could be dangerous.
Through several South Korean media, it has been revealed that J-Hope will start his military service on April 18, a date that has not been confirmed by HYBE, the company in charge of Bangtan. However, the sources that revealed this date are from the military.
The rapper and songwriter will be in Division A of the New Inmate Training Center located in Gangwon-do, where he is expected to be there for about five weeks until he is designated as an active soldier and can exercise all his duties as a South Korean citizen.

HYBE issued a statement days ago for the ARMY not to proceed to where J-Hope will be enlisted, as this is prohibited and not a safe thing to do.
“Please note that there will be no official event on the day of his enlistment. The ceremony is a time to be observed only by military personnel and their families. To avoid any problems that may occur due to overcrowding, fans are advised to refrain from visiting the site.”
Instead, we ask that you keep your touching words of support and farewell in your hearts,” read the agency’s statement. So far, it is not known if the other members of BTS will be bidding farewell to J-Hope as they did to Jin. However, ARMY believes that it is possible.
