On October 16, J-Hope took to his Instagram story to share a photo without any caption. The image shows him on stage, covering his mouth with his hand, accompanied by a surprised emoji, drawing attention from fans.
The event in question took place on October 15 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, marking the 20th 'W Korea' Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign charity event. Attendees included actors Lee Min-ho, Lee Dong-hwi, Lee Chae-min, Lee Young-ae, and Im Soo-jung, along with members from groups BTS, IVE, aespa, Kiki, All Day Project, and ILY:1. However, the event has faced criticism for deviating from its original purpose, turning into more of a celebrity party.
Meanwhile, BTS, including J-Hope, is gearing up for a comeback slated for spring 2026. The group has announced plans for a new album release and a large-scale world tour.
