BTS' rapper j-hope has penned an elaborate, emotional post for his fans with the end of 2023. He took to Weverse to pen the note, talking about how the year treated him.

j-hope wrote (translated), "ARMY!! You're doing well, right?? There's not much left of 2023 either. Still, since it was a year that was special and I was grateful for in various ways, I came to give you guys a greeting in a simple way. It seems like this year I moved and did various activities by keeping enlistment in clear focus. I even went to award show(s) alone as I wanted to show you the parts I couldn't show since then, even participated in big shows in Paris, even did a song collaboration with a person I respect a lot as a present for you guys before I enlist to repay you all, even prepared a few little contents for you guys so you can feel my warmth while I'm doing my service."

The BTS member went on to add, "I lived/did activities busily and fiercely like this and then enlisted. Like that, it has already been 9 months while running as a soldier. Already!!? I'm preparing to see the sun of the (day of my) discharge. (Of course... it ends in October though...) What I end up feeling though, is nothing except the thought that I want to show you my cool side again, and as much as that, I miss you all so much!"

The 'Arson' rapper said that he misses his bandmates RM, Jin, Suga, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, who are also currently serving in the military. He wrote, "While also missing our members too, also worrying (for them), while also feeling a sense of relatability on the other hand... it also gives me strength...! I can say since I experienced it first but..! I believe you/they would feel the same for sure!!... hehe. Before going to sleep, I'm thinking a lot and encountering various dreams. Things that felt very natural and trivial become the ideal, and for a bit they dissipate fatigue and let loose of a stiff breath. The place I sleep would be the same as the sun goes down would be the same right? The day I end my military duty sincerely, makes the beginning of Year 24 even stronger!!!"

He concluded, wishing V a late birthday, "Anyway, Year 23 too I definitely endured and moved due to you guys. (It's a little sudden/unexpected but I still want to express it...) Receive a lot of blessings for Year 24 (Happy New Year)!!!!!... And our reality and ideal, our ARMY, our members. Let's not be sick/hurt and be happy!!!! I love you!!! It's late but our Taehyungie, Happy Birthday."
