“I hope fall arrives soon”— J-hope reflects on military life and sends Chuseok wishes in his latest Weverse letter

In his latest Weverse letter, J-hope candidly shared his feelings of nervousness and anxiety, pondering why he worried so much at the beginning of his service when, in retrospect, there was little to be concerned about.

J-hope serves as a drill instructor in the military and is scheduled to be discharged on October 17, 2024.
