BTS member Jhope has officially been discharged from the military after Jin. The rapper has already started being in the limelight after his return as he was part of South Korea’s latest baseball match. He threw the ceremonial pitch at the second game between the Kia Tigers and Samsung Lions. The ceremony was first supposed to happen on October 22 but got postponed due to rain, leaving BTS ARMY disappointed.
This is Jhope’s first public event after his return from the military. Jhope also gave a subtle shoutout to BTS and his fans by wearing a purple glove. For the unversed, the purple colour has a special significance to BTS.

And I was able to finish the service well and in good health thank to the fans.”
