"He must have sent it as well" — Fans react to j-hope liking a TikTok video made on BTS bodyguard Mr. Lee from HOPE ON THE STAGE Seoul concert

On March 5, 2025, fans noticed that j-hope liked a TikTok fan-edit video of BTS' bodyguard, Mr. Lee. The head of the K-pop group's security was seen smiling as a BTS fan received a marriage proposal in front of j-hope.

On March 2, 2025, during the send-off segment of j-hope's solo concert at Seoul's KSPO Dome, a male attendee proposed to his partner (a BTS ARMY member) in front of the idol. J-hope was pleasantly surprised to witness a fan suddenly getting proposed to and immediately celebrated the moment by cheering for the couple.

During the proposal, Mr. Lee, BTS's longtime bodyguard, smiled brightly. Attendees captured the candid moment on camera, and it quickly spread across the Internet. Fans were delighted to see the softer side of Mr. Lee, who has always displayed a stoic demeanor. One fan wrote on X that j-hope must have also shared the TikTok clip with Mr. Lee—

"He must have sent it as well"

The ARMY community was quick to express their excitement over j-hope's interaction with the TikTok video, suggesting that he must have shared the video in BTS' group chat as well.

"Hobi must have showed this video to Mr.lee and laughed," a fan wrote.

"Lmao they know Mr Lee has his own fandom too," another fan wrote.

"He must have sent it to grp chat," another fan added.

Others pointed out that BTS now knows how much their fans "like their bodyguard too."

"I know he rolled out on floor laughing," a fan reacted.

"This is the first time I ever saw Mr Lee smiling while he was on duty (other than the Jin's discharge time, ofc). And it suits him," another fan noted.

"Lmaoo hobi seeing that armys like their bodyguard too," another fan said.
