“ARMY!! How have you been???
It’s a good weekend.
I have been serving as an assistant instructor for new recruits after completing a course for assistant instructors at the 36th Infantry Division Recruit Training Center.
I didn’t have the time to update you all because I have been so busy daily, as expected.
I wanted to keep you posted even if it’s short so here I am.
I couldn’t help thinking about j-hope around this time last year as I serve in this hot July weather.
These two are completely different sides of me but I feel my passionate heart for the future stays the same!!!!
I wanted to let you all know that I am living as Jung Ho Seok and j-hope whenever and wherever I am haha.
ARMYs please stay cool ~~And stay dry~~~ I wish everyone including the new recruits good health!!!!
Salute!!”
Meanwhile, j-hope enlisted as an active-duty soldier for the 36th Infantry Division in April and completed his basic training in May. He will be discharged on October 17th, 2024.
