On the 23rd, Fairy Jaehyung's channel, "BTS members who are discharged one by one..." j-hope.. You have a plan, right?" The video of the title was released.
Today's guest is BTS J-Hope. J-Hope, who was about to make a world tour as a solo artist after being discharged from the military, met with Jung Jae-hyung and talked about his military career, his solo career after being discharged, and his plan to complete BTS in June 2025.
Jung Jae-hyung said "RM has been to my house a few times. When we made RM's album, we met and drank together. What do you mean BTS in my house? "I've seen your members once at a bar, but you're the only one I haven't seen."
As soon as J-Hope was discharged from the military, he replied, "'It's probably because I don't go to drinking often.'" As soon as he was discharged, he thought about the reason for going to the United States even before he joined the military. When I was discharged from the military, I wanted to go to the U.S. to study and immerse myself in the culture, stay long and work. But I couldn't go for a long time and it was short, but I went for about a month, and I wanted to quickly permeate the culture and prepare to return. "
J-Hope "I get scared when I'm about a month away from being discharged from the military. I was worried about getting used to it because it was my first time taking a long rest. It wasn't, considering whether he lived comfortably during his military years. I think I served according to my life there."
I thought let's be shameless when asked by Jung Jae-hyung "How did you take the bath?" I just thought I should do it proudly. 'You're going to see a celebrity's body, right?' and took it off. I don't think I used the word "celebrity" with my own mouth.
J-Hope said of his military days "I let go of myself a lot. After the training center, I even worked as an assistant, but when I sleep, I can't think of anything. I'm so tired. I was really nervous. I was rather sad in the morning because it was morning when I lay down. I felt a lot positively that my military life was really proud of myself and that there were various people in the world. I felt like I was becoming an adult in a different way" he said.
My comrades who served with me said, `I had fun in the military because of my brother, and I was drinking and grateful.' `I received this energy and thought to go out and do it.'
The first stage after being discharged from the military was 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event' held in Paris, France. J-Hope said, "I was worried that the fans would come when it wasn't the whole group, but I was so surprised. I wondered if our team was loved this much. I was moved by the cheering chant."
Jimin is the first member who contacted me after the performance in Paris. J-Hope said "Jimin said "Jimin was cajoling "Jimin sent me a picture of him biting his tongue" and "It was a good inspiration and energy when he was about to perform individually".
J-Hope, who humbly said that BTS' success was a good luck to ride the tide at a time when SNS was booming, said "It was when I went on AMA in 2017 that I felt BTS became popular. I felt on that stage that 'we don't think our popularity is normal' he laughed.
Time for all members to be discharged from the military in June this year. As for the possibility of a full-body return "We have to prepare carefully. As soon as I am discharged from the military, I think I will prepare for BTS-related activities" he forewarned.
