BTS star Jungkook begs the ARMY

It is pertinent to mention here that J-Hope, 29, began his mandatory military service last month, following the eldest member of the septet, Jin.

South Korea requires all able-bodied men aged between 18 and 28 to serve in the military for about two years, a measure that has long been a source of controversy. A 2019 revision of the law allowed globally recognised K-pop sensation, BTS to delay service until the age of 30.
