On February 26, Bighit Entertainment made an official announcement that BTS’ J-Hope is set to release his new solo single On the Street.
On the same day, the agency made the announcement that BTS’ J-Hope has started his military enlistment process and also applied for the termination of his enlistment postponement. In South Korea, it is mandatory for every able-bodied male citizen to serve in the military as the country is still in discord with North Korea.
Fans are excited to listen to the upcoming solo single of the idol with a heavy heart as this will be his last song before his enlistment in the army.

The agency further shared that they hope the song will be a meaningful gift to everyone who supports the artist. Fans are expressing their concerns at the idol’s military enlistment but are elated to receive the last gift from the idol before he leaves them for some time.
One fan tweeted:
“This is a comeback, this is his present for us, let's give him THE BEST and prepare ourselves! Get your accounts ready to stream! Share the comeback info on your social media! WE GOT THIS ON THE STREET IS COMING JHOPE ON THE STREET”
Following the idol’s military announcement, the member also went live on the South Korean social media app Weverse, where he shared that he loves his fans very much.
This made fans more emotional as he asked them to fill the comment section with purple hearts to support him. After watching the Live, one fan tweeted:
“The way he said it why does it feel so emotional, I'm tearing up😭 he prepared the last present for us just like how seokjin prepared so many presents for us before going, god jung hoseok I love u sm”
