This situation has all the members of the Bangtan fandom very saddened, who do not see it as fair that they have to do military service despite all the success they have brought to their country’s music.

However, laws are laws and BTS members must also abide by them. For this reason, it is now ‘Hobi‘ who will go to serve his nation, leaving behind his fame and all his professional work in the music world.

The photos of J-Hope with shaved hair have quickly gone viral on social media, as the ARMY mourns the absence of the artist, while there are now only 5 BTS members who will be entering the military draft in the coming months.
The group members are expected to bid farewell to J-Hope at the camp he will be entering for his first training. However, on HYBE‘s orders, fans have been asked not to attend the camp, as it could be dangerous and is prohibited.
