11 years strong! The BTS band, which started out as 7 South Korean boys, has become a global sensation with a devoted ARMY following of millions. They have broken language barriers and crossed borders. Even though the boys are currently serving their military duties, with the eldest, Jin, recently returning, the excitement hasn’t died down one bit. Today, June 13, is their first anniversary! To celebrate, Big Hit announced a special meet and greet with Jin (happening now!), while the ever thoughtful J-Hope wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans.
BTS’s J-Hope writes a letter to fans
No matter what, ARMY’s sunshine J-Hope never forgets to write a letter to them, always speaking his mind. Like always, this time too, his letter came at the right time. While all the members including RM, Jungkook, Suga, Taehyung, Jimin, and Jin wrote letters, it was the Arson crooner’s letter that garnered the most attention for obvious reasons. In his letter, he asked ARMY several questions, but the last question stood out as it referenced the K-drama Lovely.
Byeon Woo Seok gained global popularity in tvN’s recent K-drama “Lovely Runner”. The show became a mega-hit despite the lack of global OTT appeal, with Sun Jae’s character emerging as a heartthrob. It’s unlikely that our BTS members, who always keep an eye on trends, would have missed it. So in his letter, Hobi mentioned, “Did you cheat? Did you run away with Sun Jae or not?”

BTS’ J-Hope mentions Lovely Runner star in letter, ARMY calls him ‘jealous boyfriend’
J-Hope wrote in his letter:
“How have you been all this time? Have you been eating well? Have you been sleeping well? What are you interested in these days? How has life been without us? Is there anything you want to say when you meet us? Honestly, did you cheat or not? Did you run off with Sunjae or not?”
One fan wrote, “Look who’s getting jealous now,” while another said, “Yeah, we didn’t. We’re waiting for you to come back.” Another joked, “Hobi, I didn’t run into her or carry her on my back or watch her… I was going to watch her… but wait, hear me out.” Another said, “I think Hobi ran off with Sunjae too.”
Jin celebrates 2024 Festa with hugs
While the members united for a short time to congratulate Jin on his successful military achievement, BigHit fulfilled their promise with Jin’s personal ‘hug’ event, which began at 3 PM KST. While the Moon singer hugged at least 1000 fans, ARMY noticed that the venue was designed with an astronaut theme, aligning with Jin’s solo album. WuTao, ​​a character designed to promote “The Astronaut,” also appeared on stage, hinting at a possible big announcement soon.
