‘HOBI CAME HOME’ Trends on Twitter as Fans Celebrate J-Hope Update on Military Service

We missed you, our sunshine Hobi!

Published

J-Hope, lovingly called Hobi by his fans, is sending Army (the fanbase of BTS) into a frenzy mode.

Despite many pleas from the Army, the members of BTS vowed that they would join the mandatory military service meant for men of South Korea. Conscription has been in place in South Korea since 1957, and male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 are required to serve in the military. 

Women are not compelled to serve in the military, although they may enlist freely. There were many speculations that BTS would be exempt from joining the military, but the K-Pop idols have promised that they will fulfill their duties as citizens of South Korea.

First, the eldest member of BTS, Jin, joined the service in December 2022, followed by Hobi. J-Hope began his five-week basic training in Gangwon province at an army boot camp on April 18, 2023. 

On May 24, 2023, he completed the basic training and updated his fans about it. He first uploaded a picture of himself saluting in his military uniform on Instagram Stories. 

Soon, “HOBI CAME HOME” started trending on Twitter and Weverse. Many were excited to see him back home and online since J-Hope was one of the members of BTS who was constantly online.

Besides Instagram Stories, he uploaded two selfies on Weverse with a small message to Army. Both the selfies were in his military uniform but in one, he was saluting, whereas in the other, he was smiling proudly at the camera. 

In the captions, he wrote how he completed the basic training. He thanked Army for their support and love. Moreover, he credited his fanbase for encouraging him to work hard with the help of letters they sent.

He wrote, “ARMY !!! I completed (the training) well. I was able to work hard on (my) training because the letters and cheers/support you sent me were a great help!!!”

He promised to show a better side of himself by working hard for the remainder of his military service. He ended his captions by writing, “Love you!!” and adorned it with a purple heart emoji.

Army was elated with Hobi coming back home to them. Army @holyhyungs wrote on Twitter, “wasn’t even on my phone and i knew hobi came home cause my vision got clearer and the sky got brighter and i even began to hear angels sing.”

Another Army, @puppykittae, noted, “HOBI CAME HOME SUDDENLY LIFE ISN’T SO DEPRESSING.” Not only Army, but J-Hope’s members from BTS are also happy that he completed his training.

Namjoon, the leader of BTS, commented on J-Hope’s post saying, “You worked hard, J-Hope!!!” The members of BTS are extremely supportive of one another and their endeavors.

When J-Hope was leaving for his military service, they were there to send him off. All the members of BTS, aka Namjoon, Suga (Min Yoongi), V (Kim Taehyung), Jimin, and Jungkook, were there to send him off.

Even Jin, who is currently doing his military service, was back home to see J-Hope and wish him luck. Namjoon was seen crying while the other members hugged J-Hope and wished the best for his service.

It is unknown who the next member will be to join the military service, but BTS has announced that they would be on a hiatus (as a team) until all the members complete the service in 2025.

As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay. He was our rock and he’d reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it.”
