"I hope fall arrives soon"— J-hope reflects on military life and sends Chuseok wishes in his latest Weverse letter

In his latest Weverse letter, J-hope opened up about his feelings of nervousness and anxiety, questioning why he had been so worried in the beginning when, in hindsight, there was little to stress about.

J-hope humorously recalled how even the simple sound of a locker opening would make him tense in his early days of service. He expressed pride in how far he's come and shared that he is now able to enjoy moments of rest, especially during the holidays.

Writing his message during Chuseok, J-hope wished his fans a happy and prosperous 'Hangawi.' He noted the significance of this particular day, as it also marked exactly 30 days until his military discharge.

"That's why I came to say hello to you during Chuseok. But coincidentally, today is exactly 30 days left," his letter read.

As he looked forward to the fall season, the rapper expressed his wish for the autumn leaves to symbolize peace and relaxation in his mind. He ended his letter by reminding fans to take care of themselves.
