   SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- BTS' J-Hope is set to complete his mandatory military service Thursday, the boy band's agency said Monday.

   For safety reasons, there will be no public event to mark the occasion, BigHit Music said.

   "We kindly ask fans to send their warm support from their hearts. We are always grateful for the unwavering support and love shown for J-Hope," it said.

   J-Hope is the second member of the popular boy group to complete his service, following Jin, who was discharged in June.

   Reflecting on his time in the military, J-Hope shared on the fan community platform Weverse last month, "I am proud and confident as I look back on my military service. I also feel somewhat attached to my time here."
