J-Hope makes rare appearance in military getup

On April 7, J-Hope made his way to the Hope On The Street pop-up store. What was special about this rare appearance, was the fact that he did so in his authentic military getup. Sharing pictures from the evening to his Instagram handle, the BTS star tagged the post with the caption, "Thank you for coming out!!! I love you!!!" followed by a purple heart.

For the unversed, On March 30, J-Hope set up a street dance-themed pop-up store in Seoul’s Seongsu-dong area. This was a first among the entire BTS gang. A highlight of J-Hope surprise visit, was him undertaking the viral neuron dance challenge - which he did, also in his military getup. As per Big Hit Music reports, J-Hope has converted three floors into an exhibition of sorts. The primary focus of this exhibition, is street dance culture, special souvenirs, and behind-the-scenes views. Visitors are notably welcomed by a symphony of fragrances, intentionally picked out, to go with each unique area of the pop-up store as soon as they enter.
