“First of all, thank you so much. I completed my service in good health. I’m really grateful,” he said, as translated by Soompi.
“During my one year and six months of military life, I served as an instructor, so I went on many marches. Every time, I saw many citizens of Wonju. I want to convey my gratitude to the citizens of Wonju who always greeted me and supported me. It was very touching.”
J-Hope praised the dedication and hard work of the soldiers he observed during his service.
“What I really felt over the past one year and six months is the immense dedication and hard work of the soldiers who protect our country. They are doing so much for the nation. I feel as if it will be meaningful to give those people warm interest and love,” he added.
