j-hope will be taking a step out of the spotlight temporarily.
The BTS member has initiated the enlistment process for mandatory military service, BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed.
Mandatory military service
His agency did not provide further details on when its rapper, singer-songwriter and producer will join the military. “We will inform you of further updates in due course,” it said in a statement.
His request to cancel the delay comes two months after Jin, the group’s oldest member, began his service. All able-bodied South Korean men are required to fulfill their military duty for about two years.
“We ask you for your continued love and support for j-hope until he completes his military service and safely returns. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artist.”
‘on the street’ single
BIGHIT MUSIC also revealed that j-hope will be releasing solo single ‘on the street,’ which he wrote as a “gift” for fans, this Friday.
The 29-year-old K-Pop star wrote the track for his fans. “The title “on the street” refers to j-hope’s roots—street dance—from which his dream to become an artist began, and the path the artist and fans will continue to walk together.”
The BTS member was recently named Louis Vuitton’s newest brand ambassador.
