Talent, kindness, sunny smile... are what ARMYs think of when talking about j-hope. He is always praised as one of the idols with the best personalities in the entertainment industry by both the celebrities he works with and other ordinary people.

Even this personality of j-hope is still maintained and promoted even when he is a soldíєr in the army. Recently, an aunt of a new recruit recounted her experience interacting with j-hope in the army, and this particular ARMY's story quickly spread throughout SNS.

j-hope's surprising reaction not only conquered the heart of the rookie's aunt but also made other fans feel moved:

These days, all the members of BTS have enlisted in the army and most of the stories that ARMYs hear are only related to their barracks. But that is enough for fans because at least it helps ARMYs know how the group members are living and what they are doing.

In particular, j-hope has recently been a topic of discussion in many conversations related to m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ topics. The reason is because j-hope's division had just held a graduation ceremony for new recruits 1 month earlier. j-hope is one of the teaching a̾s̾sistants of this rookie cla̾s̾s and he is recognized and admired by many of the rookies' families.

One of them was a rookie's aunt and also a big fan of him. After attending her nephew's graduation ceremony, she αccídєntally saw J-Hope nearby and of course, couldn't contain the excitement of a loyal fan. She silently walked towards j-hope and expressed her support in the hope of giving him strength. However, the back part of the story was more surprising than she expected due to j-hope's amazing reaction.

Specifically, in the post about her memories with j-hope at the ceremony that day, she wrote: "On the day of the recruit graduation ceremony, I was looking at my nephew who turned solid/reliable and a training instructor was right next to him, literally three steps away. Looking at his back, I thought “ah..it’s Hobi. j-hope!” and my heart was pounding.

After the graduation ceremony, I went to Hobi, showed my purple bag and asked in a trembling voice, “can I ask for your autograph?” and my nephew said to him, “Jogyo-nim(Training Instructor-nim), this is the aunt that I told you about. She is a tremendous ARMY.” Hobi warmly grinned and asked, “May I have your name, pls?” and signed the back of the bag. Feeling so grateful, I bowed at a 90-degree angle and moved out of the way for those behind me in line. But it seemed like he didn't have a marker/pen with him, so I gave him mine and came out. When I turned around, I saw Hobi looking for me to return the pen. It was cute that he was looking around and looking around...I secretly came out so he could use the pen to sign autographs for other ARMYs."

j-hope has always been such a great person whether he was a singer or when he was a soldíєr. He doesn't turn down any opportunity to show appreciation and treat his supportive fans well. Even when he is busy with his work as a teaching a̾s̾sistant, he is still willing to stay and sign autographs or take pictures with fans.

When listening to this story from inside the barracks, fans feel warm because he always receives the love he deserves. At the same time, fans also expressed many thoughts:

- Decent, kind, polite, nice person. Everyone who meets him or can even call him a friend has won a lifetime win. My role model.

- this interaction between hobi and Army! cry with me.

- Why am I living in the wrong country. but on a serious note, OMG how will I survive a moment like this with hobi??

- hobi looking around and around to find the army to return the pen, and the army sneaking out of the place so he could use it for others...so sweet.

- Hoseok is the sweetest person

- people not caring enough to return pens they've borrowed is just a fact of life i've come to accept but hoseok goes above and beyond as usual (he literally could've just found the nephew too but sob he wanted to return it personally)

- both army and hobi are sweeties

- My Hoba...love you so much. Apobangpo

- I love him so much for this. Because the way I was ugly crying and immediately smiled when I saw his story
