He will be the second BTS member to complete the mandatory service after Jin, who completed his military service in June. 

In September, J-Hope warned his fans by starting a countdown ahead of his military discharge. Sharing a mirror selfie, the K-pop star wrote in Korean, as translated by a fan page on X, "One month, exactly 30 days left to go! All that time flew by, but I'm already reminiscing about it, I guess I grew pretty fond of everything here. I've been packing, giving away some of the gear I came to cherish, and my locker's starting to look a bit empty."
