천사다정강아지실존…
다정한 얼굴로 이름 한 자 한 자 아주 정성스레 써줌
팬이 못알아들으면 다시 말해주고 기다려줌 🥲
여태 셀 수 없이 많이 싸인 해왔겠지만 매번 대충 하는 법 없이 진심으로 고마워하고 팬 대해주는 게 느껴지니까 더 기특한 거 아니겟어… 우리 정국이 🫳🏻🫳🏻🫳🏻 pic.twitter.com/FNeosyi05E— 둥 (@totiz91) October 21, 2024
Fans commented, “He’s so kind and sweet,” and “His gaze and expressions are so warm.” Jungkook enlisted in December alongside fellow member Jimin and is currently serving in the 5th Infantry Division, with a scheduled discharge in June 2025.
In June, fellow member Jin completed his military service, and J-Hope was discharged last week. J-Hope expressed his gratitude, saying, “I returned healthy and safe. I’m really thankful,” adding, “Thanks to all the fans, I was able to finish my military service without any issues.”
J-Hope elaborated, “Over the past year and a half, the soldiers have worked hard and dedicated themselves to protecting the country. I believe that the warm interest and love from the public adds even greater meaning to our service.” In closing, he expressed his gratitude for the support, saying, “Thank you for your tremendous encouragement and love. I returned healthy and safe!” He ended with a spirited salute, exclaiming, “Loyalty!”
Despite his military service, Jungkook continues to enjoy immense popularity. According to Billboard, his songs “Seven” and “Standing Next to You” have remained on the charts for 65 weeks and 49 weeks, respectively.
