Our Sunshine BTS’s j-hope turns 26 and what an incredible year it has been for him and ARMY. Let’s take a look at some of the amazing ways Hopeworldians are celebrating our Golden Hyung, j-hope!

Charity Campaigns
ARMY never fails to amaze with the amount of work they do to impact the lives of others. Literal angels. In honour of j-hope’s birthday this year, Chinese ARMY donated enough to build a hospital! This even reached global news!
Hoseok’s Chinese fans have donated $71,570 to the China Youth Development Foundation which will be used to build a hospital!!!

One project which stood out for us was @J-Hope_UK‘s #HOPEfortheChildren charity project which raised over £1K for Glasglow Children’s Hospital Charity, also including other contributions such as toy donations and letter writing.

We previously discussed the wonderful @OneinanARMY and their j-hope project which has had an incredible possitive impact.
#EgoChallenge
j-hope’s ‘Outro: Ego’ dropped in the lead up to the Map Of The Soul: 7 release and in the wake of this, creative ARMY formed a throwback challenge based on the track, popular on both TikTok and Twitter.

Birthday Livestream
It has been tradition for BTS members to host a livestream on the V Live platform when they reach their birthday. j-hope decided to start his half an hour early as he stated he’d like to spend more time and cross over to his birthday with ARMY.
