BTS fans all around the globe are all over the moon, celebrating BTS’ 11th debut anniversary this June 13. ARMY (that’s the fandom name they wear proudly) is all about this annual party at the 2024 “FESTA,” arriving hours earlier and queuing at the event since the night before.
As part of the festivities, each BTS member wrote a heartfelt letter to ARMY, expressing gratitude for their unwavering support over the years. Their sentiment was echoed all across the event, especially because most group members continue serving their country in the military. As of now, only Jin has been discharged, and the rest of the BTS squad is expected to return by mid-2025.

Now, J-Hopes’s letter in particular made fans melt with his charm and K-Drama references! The rapper wrote questions that mirrored a conversation between close friends—or a jealous boyfriend, giving “Lovely Runner” vibes, a 2024 series. Check out his sweet questions:
“How have you been all this time?
Are you eating well?
Are you sleeping well?
What are you interested in these days?
How has life been without us?
Is there anything you want to say to us when you meet us?”
He then teasingly asked:
“Honestly, did you cheat or not?
Did you run with Sunjae or no?”
— J-Hope
South Korean fans responded to his questions. flooding social media with assurances. While some didn’t get the reference, some others did play along with the BTS member. The replies included comments like “Hey Hobi, calm down we haven’t gone anywhere,” “So cute,” and “It is what it is, Hobi! But I didn’t run away.”
