Has The Military Changed Jin And J-Hope? — BTS Members Share Update
It has been a year since Jin became the first BTS member to enlist in the military for his mandatory service, soon to be followed by J-Hope and Suga. While for Suga, it has been only a few weeks of his special service, both Jin and J-Hope have already completed a considerable amount of their service period. But has military life brought any changes in their personalities?
Recently, RM¸Jimin, V, and Jungkook hosted a surprise Weverse livestream to greet fans together before their enlistment. While the four got talking about their enlistment plans, the topic of Jin and J-Hope came up spontaneously.
V mentioned that J-Hope has gotten much cooler after joining the army, and RM added that his energy has become very “manly.” V jokingly said that his angelic aura had been replaced by that of a scary military trainer!

Jungkook mentioned that J-Hope’s body has changed as well, but Jimin was more focused on the change in his temperament. He mentioned that before J-Hope would call him teasing nicknames when he visited, but now his greetings have gotten much mellower.

On the other hand, V mentioned that Jin’s vibe has not changed at all. Jimin added that the only thing that has changed about him is his tone of speaking.
🐨 Hobi is a bit of a devil instructor now.
