In his post, J-Hope opened up about how time has passed, noting, "One month, exactly 30 days! Time felt so slow, but now I’ve grown attached to it. As I clean up, giving my well-used items to my juniors and seeing my emptied locker, I feel more sentimental.”

Reminiscing about his early days in the military, he humorously shared, Looking back, it wasn’t a big deal, but back then, I was so tense. Even the sound of the locker opening would get on my nerves. Seeing the new recruits now, I feel a connection with them and find myself smiling at how I used to be.” He continued, “I’m proud of my time here! I feel good about it!”


J-Hope playfully mentioned that he’s now “a seasoned soldier,” casually lounging on his bed while writing the message. He shared how much he enjoyed the holiday break and jokingly added that he chose to write because “today just happens to be exactly 30 days until my discharge.”

Wrapping up his message, J-Hope shared, “I hope the peace in everyone’s homes continues, and my heart is fluttering like a dove with happiness during this Chuseok. Though it’s a bit of a warm Chuseok, I wish you all a prosperous holiday.” He concluded with, “I hope autumn comes soon. I’ll see you next month. Until then, please take care and stay healthy.”
