This is exciting because it only happens once a year, but now I feel when asked what he hates and likes to hear on his birthday, J-Hope says he doesn’t like people asking, ‘Are you happy because it’s your birthday?’ Of course yes, this is my birthday!” As for what he likes to hear, the singer says he likes to hear “Happy Birthday” from everyone. Although there have been so many good times since they debuted, J-Hope said that the most memorable birthday since his debut was when the band surprised him with a birthday message from his parents. “They told me that it was a schedule for the show, but then my parents showed up and I could not stop crying.” To end the interview, J-Hope also sent a message to himself. “Age is just a number. Don’t worry about things like that and just be happy for every moment that you are loved. This is your most beautiful moment!” Unfortunately, the video of J-Hope’s birthday that year can only be accessed by the V Live App as it has been uploaded on BTS’ official channel.

2017
It’s February 18th in Korea now, meaning this it’s BTS’ J-Hope’s birthday! As usual, at midnight, fans celebrated the birthday of the rapper with lots of love for the brightest member of the group, trending the tag “#happyhopeday” around the world on Twitter. Then, on the evening of February 18th, it will be the first day of Seoul’s “Wings” BTS concert leg, and fans have begun to queue since the previous day. Challenging the cold temperatures, fans counted down until then it turned right at midnight on February 18th and sang a happy birthday song to J-Hope. J-Hope also reached fans on his birthday, holding the V Live broadcast that started a little before his birthday and counted down for it. Members of the band, such as Jimin, Jungkook, V, and Jin joined him to wish him a happy birthday and Jin also gave J-Hope branded shoes as a gift. It would seem that it has turned into a tradition now after Jimin gave J-Hope a pair last year. You can watch the video above. Unfortunately, Suga and Rap Monster couldn’t join the broadcast because it took place during their concert practice and the two were caught up in a meeting. However, they then uploaded a photo of J-Hope, according to tradition, to wish him a happy birthday. Rap Monster uploaded a photo collage he took on the set of their latest music video and put it, “Happy birthday to my friend.” https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/832620770618548226 Suga uploaded a J-Hope selfie where he was dressed as “mother” for the group’s fan meeting video. He wrote it “Mrs. Yoon Ji. # I’m_Suga_Hyung #Happy_birthday_Hope #soul_partner #Sope # If_Suga_is_the_leader_then_it_s_Sope # If_J-Hope_then_Hote.” Yoon Ji is the name of the Suga female character from a girl broadcast by a high school where a party was dressed as Suga. Sope is the name of the unit of Suga and J-Hope.
