I want to thank the residents who welcomed and cheered on the soldiers. It was very touching," said J-Hope as reported by the Korea Times . "Thank you for your great support, encouragement and love. I have finished it healthy and well. During my service, I felt that the soldiers have worked hard, dedicated themselves and done so much for the country that protects them.
