In April 2023, BTS’s J-Hope enlisted in the military to complete his mandatory service.

Since then, the rapper has taken every opportunity to not only show up for his members’ big days in any way possible,

but also frequently updated fans, be it through pictures, comments on posts, or letters.

Meanwhile, even in the military, J-Hope has shown outstanding performance, attaining the highly respectable designation of an assistant instructor and becoming one of the select few “Special Class (Elite) Warriors.” Though his life in the military is subject to privacy, fans have caught a glimpse of him during his service here and there, either through updates shared by the official military app or through his co-soldiers.

Recently, an ARMY shared an account of their acquaintance, who gave a detailed outlook of J-Hope as an assistant instructor in the military. The OP (original poster) prefaced the story by saying that their colleague recently showed them J-Hope’s photo, asking if they knew him. When OP asked her why she showed them the picture, the coworker revealed that her son had recently enlisted, and J-Hope was one of his training instructors. She described him as a kind instructor who always gives out hugs to cheer up trainees!

In the follow-up Tweet, the OP added a specific incident shared by the trainee’s mother. While she admitted that all the instructors are friendly to the soldiers, J-Hope is extra gentle and treats them like a big brother. When OP’s coworker’s son hurt his finger during shooting training, the BTS member went out of his way to give him a detailed demonstration of how to use the gun without putting too much pressure on his wounded finger.

Though, according to OP, J-Hope is strict during the training sessions, during the breaks, he never fails to check upon the trainees. OP’s coworker also said that her son had gotten more hugs from the rapper than he had from his parents!

In another comment, the OP mentioned that their coworker’s son also approached J-Hope for a picture, to which he enthusiastically agreed. Though the trainee was hesitant due to J-Hope’s celebrity, it all disappeared as he put his arm around him while posing for the photo.

J-Hope is expected to be discharged from his military duties on October 17, 2024, and from the looks of it, by that time the army and ARMYs might just become one and all!
