On June 4th, 2024 the army hosted a presentation competition named, “Strong Warrior, Army! Presentation Contest”. In this contest, almost 170 soldiers and civilian employees participated. One of these 170 participants, was BTS performer J-Hope. Fans were swooned by how charming he looked in the uniform when he appeared for the content.
First, J-Hope shared a speech which was later posted on the YouTube channel of the National Defense News. During this speech, he expressed his pride in being amongst the soldiers defending his country, the Republic of Korea. He said, ‘’in the army, I found videos and photos of BTS in the education materials that helped conscripts stay focused (during the session).”
He also added, “Every time conscripts complete their (month-long) boot camp and leave for deployment, they tell me that it was an honor to have spent time with me. It is then that I realized I am taking a valuable first step with those who will become an important part of Korea’s security,” After his brief speech, J-Hope ended up getting the grand prize for this event. This is an honor itself, yet J-Hope also has won 500,000 (USD 360) prize money, his time in the army will end on 17th October, 2024.
He said, “A Korean fan came up to me and said this. They told me they were really grateful that all seven members (of BTS) are Korean citizens. They also said to me that it was an honor that I was with the trainees every time they completed their training. Maybe that’s why I feel like I’m spending very meaningful and rewarding days lately. It’s a great pride to serve as a soldier for the Republic of Korea.”
This is the latest honor that the army has bestowed upon the BTS member J-Hope. He currently is a sergeant in the Korean military and he has been given this honor for his time and the dedication he has shown for this army. BTS has a strong fan base and, each member of the army is going gaga over this news.
