As for ARMYs, they have come up with a unique initiative to celebrate his upcoming birthday. Named ‘TO ARMY FROM ARMY,’ this cafe event is not only a token of appreciation towards j-hope but also an expressive way to showcase gratitude towards all the members of the South Korean military. Since its inauguration on February 7, the cafe has caught the attention of many high-stature military personnel, including Lieutenant Colonel Jang Min-cheol, the commander of the Baekho Recruit Training Battalion even gracing the cafe with his presence, where he extended his thanks to the ARMYs for their unwavering support.
For those unversed, j-hope enlisted in the mandatory military service on April 18, 2023. Just earlier this month, images of him leading a 20 km soldier ruck march had surfaced which left his fans extremely proud. He is expected to return in 2025.
