BTS' J-Hope Announces New Single "on the street" Ahead of Military Enlistment

BTS member J-Hope has two big news this week: his upcoming military enlistment and a new single on the way.

Over the weekend, the K-pop artist's label BIGHIT MUSIC officially announced that he would begin the processes necessary for joining the South Korean army. The company said in a statement, "We would like to inform our fans that J-hope has initiated the military enlistment process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement. We will inform you of further updates in due course." The note continued, "We ask you for your continued love and support for J-hope until he completes his military service and safely returns. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artist."

Just like his bandmate Jin, it seems J-Hope will be dropping a new single before heading to the military for his fans, announcing his latest single titled "on the street." Set to release on March 3, the track is described to be a lo-fi hip-hop song with an "easy-listening melody and warm-hearted lyrics," which are written by J-Hope himself. The track was teased with a black-and-yellow graphic.

The news arrives after J-Hope was officially announced as the global brand ambassador of Louis Vuitton.
