These days, meeting BTS in real life has become more frequent than ever. There are many ARMYs who accidentally met the members and they are enjoying life like a normal person.
In particular, a lucky ARMY met j-hope at a store having birthday event for Jimin. Many people even consider it as a surprise gift on Jimin's birthday:
These days, BTS is enjoying their normal and fun life. The members can do whatever they like and make music at the same time.
ARMYs realize that the members have many simple hobbies and they go to ordinary places just like everyone else. Jungkook went to IU's concert, RM went to the museum and library, Jin went to his hometown, etc. Many ARMYs were lucky enough to meet BTS at such places. But to keep their privacy, ARMYs only tell stories and limit posting pictures.
Here is a similar story of a lucky ARMY who met j-hope at a birthday event for Jimin. Specifically, when they were working in a store, j-hope walked in. He was accompanied by two of his friends and more specifically, he appeared on the days of Jimin's birthday.
In the store there is also a small corner with items prepared for Jimin's birthday event. j-hope looked through them and was very interested. Then he walked around and looked at some items.
He talked and laughed with his friends. Then j-hope bought treats and even Snoopy stickers. He's a huge fan of this cartoon dog and even named it his "style hero" in an interview with GQ magazine.
She recounted the moment she met him that: "…….. I saw j-hope in person. He came to our store and shopped. He came with two friends. They talked and laughed and had a good time. They bought some Snoopy products…"
After seeing j-hope enter, ARMY couldn't hold back her excitement and when j-hope came to pay, she confessed that she and the staffs were ARMYs. When the store owner told that he smiled shyly at them, then continued walking.
This ARMY then also revealed the item that j-hope bought for other ARMYs to refer to. She also said that although she couldn't meet Jimin on his birthday, j-hope's appearance was an unexpected gift.
Specificially, she said: "…We said we’re both ARMYs and he flashed his gorgeous smile at us and said hi. I’m shaking and crying T-T I love you j-hope. It’s Jimin’s birthday but I feel like I’m the one who got the gift."
She also added: "j-hope is seriously such a lovely and cute squirrel of a man… He picked out some stickers and a plate, but he brought it to me in this bag to ring up… I now have the same set hanging at the store…….."
Jimin’s birthday is the gift that keeps on giving to ARMY!
