ARMY, o the fans of K-pop supergroup BTS, are eagerly counting down the days until BTS J-Hope completes his mandatory military service.

On Weverse, the K-pop star excitedly shared that he will be discharged in exactly 30 days and is preparing to return to the K-pop industry.

J-Hope expressed his enthusiasm about his comeback, mentioning that he has started packing and distributing some of his favorite items to his successors.

According to AllKPOP, J-Hope's message read, "One month, exactly 30 days! Time felt so slow, but now I've grown attached to it. As I clean up, giving my well-used items to my juniors and seeing my emptied locker, I feel more sentimental."

He then reflected on his first day in camp, recalling his nervousness, which he now shares with this month's new recruits. "Looking back, it wasn't a big deal, but back then, I was so tense. Even the sound of the locker opening would get on my nerves. Seeing the new recruits now, I feel a connection with them and find myself smiling at how I used to be,” he said.“I'm proud of my time here! I feel good about it!"

Fans were further delighted when J-Hope added, "I'll see you next month, on this day. I hope you take care of your health until that day!"

Along with his heartfelt message, J-Hope included a mirror selfie and a short form of the note, "ARMY, I love you."
