“I finished my basic military training well,” the BTS member wrote on fan community service Weverse. “I was able to take part in the training to my best ability thanks to the letters and support that ARMY [fan club] sent to me.”
“I will try my best for the remaining period and show you only the good things,” he added.
Member RM commented on the post, “You’re doing so well, Hop.”
