The Korea Herald quoted J-Hope saying, “In the Army, I found videos and photos of BTS in the education materials that helped conscripts stay focused (during the session). 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.”
“I feel like I am living a very meaningful and rewarding life these days. Just as the blood, tears, voice and sweat I shed on stage contributed greatly to the development of Korean culture, I feel that I am now contributing to Korea as a soldier, in a different way. I’m Sergeant Jung Ho-seok, not J-Hope of BTS, at the moment. I’m here to protect Korea and it is with great pride that I serve as a Korean soldier.” He added.
