BTS Jhope has ARMYs buzzing with excitement after sharing a delightful series of photos on his Instagram. The Kpop star, who is set to be discharged from his mandatory military service on October 17, raised anticipation for his return through a post that showcased his vibrant and playful side. On October 2, Jhope shared a carousel of nine photos, capturing him at various locations. His beloved pet dog, Mickey, even made a cameo in one of the pictures, adding to the charm of the update. In his caption, Jhope teased fans with his signature humour, saying, "It's October. I've put together a bunch of pretty even photos. See you on my discharge day. Enjoy it."
The update has thrilled fans who have been eagerly counting down the days until Jhope completes his 18-month military service. The post, highlighting his cheerful spirit, only adds to the anticipation surrounding his return. Jhope started his military service in April 2023, becoming the second BTS member to enlist after Jin.
