🎁 Studio rental? Lip balm? Perfume sets? Yes, it's J-Hope.
J-Hope just redefined what fan service means. The BTS member made his long-awaited music show comeback on June 17 and turned it into a full-on love letter to his fans—literally.
At the pre-recording for Mnet's M Countdown, held at CJ ENM Studio in Paju, over 1,000 ARMYs were in attendance. To thank them, J-Hope rented out a massive studio space just for his fans to stay cool and comfortable while waiting.
🍱 From lunch to love letters—he thought of everything
Fans were treated to lunch boxes, desserts, drinks, perfume sets, lip balms, and even custom photocards. As one fan put it: "Never thought a singer would make sure I ate."
J-Hope even wrote a handwritten letter:
"I hope this message helps you while waiting. I've prepared this with all my heart to show you the best performance. Love you, ARMY."
During a recent listening party, he hinted at this fan-only setup, saying: "It's hot these days, right? I arranged a space where ARMY can relax. Hope you like it."
