BTS’ j-hope shares an unseen old OT7 photo, surprising fans online
BTS member j-hope, who is currently serving in the military, shared a letter on ARMY Day with a birthday cake illustrated on it. He also posted an OT7 photograph showing RM, Jin, Suga, Jimin, V, Jungkook, and himself posing together with a scenic background. Netizens quickly noticed that the photograph appeared to come out of an envelope placed beside the letter.
Many speculated that the image could not have been taken recently, as all the members have short haircuts due to South Korean military protocol. Fans pointed out that Suga's blonde hair, visible in the photo, indicated that it was an old image.
On July 9, the Arson singer also shared an image of himself on Instagram wearing sunglasses. This photo has gained popularity among BTS fans, as he has previously used it as a meme to write his stage name, which was shared on the official X page of the K-pop boy group back in 2021.
This time, the image indicated that there are only 100 days remaining for j-hope’s military discharge, as he is expected to return in October 2024. The D-1 was written on the side of his face, and the sunglasses represent the two zeros in the 100.
Additionally, his fellow BTS member Jin reacted to the news of 100 days until j-hope's discharge on Weverse:
"Hey Hobi, you said there are 100 days left. Since then, each day feels like 48 hours. Hahaha, it's true."
Previously, j-hope was seen in public during the military discharge of BTS' eldest member Jin on June 12, 2024. He was seen with RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook at the 5th Division Recruit Training Center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do province.
