He also candidly revealed that he was supposed to enlist together with J-hope, but he pushed it back to a later date to complete his impending work. The rapper further shared that he will enlist in the military once he completes his pending work.

A month after the Weverse live, on May 5, the Indigo singer dropped a surprise letter on Weverse dedicated to ARMYs.
