Ahead of BTS J-Hope's Completion Ceremony, Agency Urges Restraint on On-site Visits, Letter and Gift Deliveries
As the completion ceremony of BTS's J-Hope (real name: Jung Ho-seok, 29) approaches, his agency has requested fans to refrain from on-site visits as well as sending letters and gifts.
On the 23rd, Big Hit Music posted on Weverse, "J-Hope is about to conclude his basic military training. We want to provide guidance on further cooperation needed during the artist's military service period."
They continued, "We urge restraint on the delivery of letters and gifts, even after his unit assignment. If these are concentrated and delivered all at once, it can be difficult to store and there's a risk of loss. Also, when sending warm messages to the artist, we will support the artist to check them directly if you use the hashtag #Dear_j-hope_from_ARMY on Weverse."
Adding on, they urged, "In order to prevent safety accidents due to the congestion at the completion ceremony site, we ask fans to refrain from on-site visits."
Meanwhile, J-Hope, who joined the military as an active-duty soldier in the 36th Division's New Soldier Training Unit in Wonju, Gangwon Province last April, is scheduled to complete on the 24th.
Below is the full text from Big Hit Music:
Hello.
This is Big Hit Music.
Thank you to all the fans who have generously loved BTS. Thanks to the warm care and support of the fans, BTS's J-Hope has enlisted and is currently on the verge of completing basic military training.
We thank you for your interest and support on the day of enlistment and would like to guide you on additional cooperation needed during the artist's military service period.
We urge you to restrain from delivering letters and gifts after the completion of basic military training and unit assignment. If your letters and gifts are delivered concentratedly all at once, it can be difficult to store, and there's a risk of loss. Therefore, we urge you to refrain from delivering mail and gifts. Additionally, when sending warm messages to the artist, if you leave a message using the hashtag #Dear_j-hope_from_ARMY on Weverse, we will support so that the artist can check them directly.
Lastly, we would like to make a request related to the basic military training completion ceremony. In order to prevent safety accidents due to on-site congestion, we hope that you refrain from visiting the site, and we hope that your send-offs and encouragement for J-Hope will be with your hearts only.
We ask for your unchanging support and love until the day J-Hope fulfills his military duty and returns healthily. We will also spare no continuous support and efforts.
Thank you.
