"THIS IS MY LAST STRAW"- Fans emotional as j-hope expresses concern for BTS members serving in the military amid snowfall in Korea

After his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Chicago, BTS’ j-hope went live on Weverse on March 19 to share heartfelt moments with fans. He mentioned the snowfall in Korea and expressed concern for his bandmates in the military, worrying they might have to shovel a lot of snow. Fans were touched by his care for them.

For those unaware, five BTS members, RM, Jimin, V, Jungkook, and Suga are still completing their military service, while Jin and j-hope have already been discharged. The remaining members are in the final months of their service and are expected to reunite in June 2025. As translated by user @mhereonlyforbts, he said,

"Hearing that it snowed in Korea, it makes me worried about the members. They'd have to shovel up a lot of snow."

South Korean military duties sometimes include snow clearing during heavy snowfall. This adds to the challenges soldiers face in winter. Fans, who have been counting the days until BTS’ full reunion, took to social media to express their emotions, saying it has been too long since the group has been apart. An X user, @anot7bias wrote,

"They've served enough! Bring my boys back," an X user wrote.
