He’s your hope and you’re his hope. J-Hope is a rapper, dancer, songwriter, and producer in BTS. He sometimes releases music as a solo artist, even performing alone on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. 

J-Hope’s birthday is Feb. 18, which means he’s an Aquarius. According to Metro, people with this zodiac sign are “especially known for their humanitarian and animal-loving ways, and they love to help others and fight for justice.”

Although fans will not be spending J-Hope’s birthday at a BTS concert, there are still projects honoring this rapper in the works. 

How ARMYs are celebrating J-Hope’s birthday in 2023

The BTS ARMY is known for their fanciful gifts, later traded for sentimental and significant nods to each of the seven members. This year, ARMYs set new streaming goals for J-Hope’s music — particularly on Spotify. 

Fans plan to get “Jack In the Box” to 400 million plays, “Hope World” to 495 million plays, and “Arson” to 100 million plays. They’re also highlighting J-Hope’s solo songs released with BTS, like “Outro: Ego” with a goal of 123 million plays. 

On YouTube, the music video with the highest goal is “Chicken Noodle Soup,” with ARMYs hoping to get this video to 374 million views. Aside from his music, J-Hope is known for his philanthropy. This February, his “Jack in the Box” outfit sold for over $21,000, raising funds for MusiCares. 

Of course, fans also created a charity project, inspired by this rapper and his birthday. Donations will be split between The Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund, Save the Children – Yemen, and Islamic Relief USA.

As with past years, ARMYs also created billboards wishing J-Hope a happy birthday. There’s also cafe events worldwide, so fans can celebrate the “Arson” artist together.
