SEOUL - A second member of South Korea’s BTS - the first K-pop band nominated for a Grammy - has begun the enlistment process for his mandatory military service, a management official confirmed on Monday, two months after the group’s oldest member began his service.
BTS members said in 2022 they would join the military starting with Jin, who turned 30 and enlisted in December after postponing his service as long as permitted. An official at the band’s management, BigHit Music, said on Sunday that a second member, the 29-year-old J-Hope, whose real name is Jung Ho-seok, applied to end postponment of his own enlistment.
“We would like to inform our fans that J-Hope has initiated the military enlistment process,” the statement said. “We ask you for your continued love and support for J-Hope until he completes his military service and safely returns.”A 2019 legislative revision allowed globally acknowledged K-pop stars to delay signing until they are 30.
