The South Korean boy band BTS left its hand teary-eyed when its members announced they would get enlisted for mandatory military service last year. As the band’s eldest member, Jin was the first to begin training; earlier this week, J-Hope also started his service. The rest of the members bid an emotional adieu to J-Hope, but some questions are now being raised, claiming the K-Pop star received preferential treatment on the day of his military enlistment. Scroll down to read the band’s agency’s reaction.
Earlier this month, J-Hope announced that he would begin his training this month but did not unveil the date. On April 17, the singer dropped his fresh buzz cut look and a day later reached the 36th Infantry Division recruit training centre in Wonju.
J-Hope received a warm farewell not only from his bandmates: RM, V, Jin, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook, but also from his fans. While RM had tears in his eyes, Suga was a bit silent as the other bandmates pulled J-Hope’s leg. The official YouTube handle of the band released a video featuring the members’ fun banter outside the training centre.
