BTS member j-hope stands in front of a backdrop inspired by the Toy Story bedroom wallpaper (blue sky with white clouds) and besides the book "To The Young Child Inside of Me" (내 안의 어린아이에게) by Kim Eana and his TinyTAN x Toy Story collectible figure portraying him as Forky. The words “Happy Birthday,” styled like the Toy Story logo, appear at the top of the image.

Happy Hobi Day! 💙 Spend the day reading "To the Young Child Inside of Me" by Kim Eana - maybe alongside your own little j-hope version of Forky while streaming “Blue Side” 🌊✨ #HAPPYJHOPEDAY

Above a quote from Fredrik Backman's "A Man Called Ove" that says, "All people want to live dignified lives; dignity just means something different to different people." is a circle made up of blue and pink. On top of the circle is a line illustration of someone hugging themselves, but instead of a head is a flower.

[MB QOTD]

Even if you’re following the trend, it’s good
Even if you’re fucking different from others, it’s good
Just you yourself is hood,
Naturally, for everyone, from the beginning, there’s nothing right or wrong
It’s just that everyone’s a little different from each other
- RM, "Do You"

This image shows a star chart commemorating a specific moment—August 28, 2020, at 14:41 (UTC-04:00)—marking the time of MB’s first Discord message. Set against a cosmic background filled with stars, the circular star chart maps out constellations from that time. Surrounding the map is a quote from BTS’s song "Mikrokosmos," which reads: “In the pitch-black nights, we saw each other's light. We were saying the same thing. We are the starlight shining even brighter in the deepest night.” The MB logo with a planetary ring around is at the bottom left. At the top right is a heart shaped constellation. The sky chart is taken from Sky & Telescope (powered by: Heavens-Above.com).

To our MB bookworms, you all are our universe. Here's a snapshot of the sky on our first meeting. Loved spending 5 years with y'all and look forward to exploring more of the universe together. 💜

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MB! 🥰

Text from a paperback book, and in the margin is written: “Uh oh”

reading a used book and didn’t know the previous owner had marked this fucker up but this one’s my favorite so far

The image shows a still from "[2025 FESTA] 방탄늬우스 (BTS NEWS)" that was modified to look like a news report with a backdrop made up of mountains and the sea. j-hope, wearing a dark denim jacket and black sunglasses, is standing on the right of a 'BTS FESTA PREP' list. This list includes the following 7 tips for ARMYs: (1) Stay hydrated! You can also keep your energy up with iced americanos! ; (2) Don't forget to eat! We recommend Jin Ramen! #notsponsored 👀 ; (3) Sun protection is a must! Serve face just like Tae with sunburn-free skin. ; (4) Loosen up your limbs before pulling any dance moves! You don't want to celebrate FESTA with sore muscles! 🕺 💫 ; (5) Warm up your vocal cords before your BTS singalong (especially if you want to keep up with Jimin's high notes)! 🎤 ; (6) Journal your reflections and feelings! 🖊️ 📓 ; and (7) Hang out and connect with fellow ARMYs (like MB bookworms) to start FESTA off on a good note. Hanging out together is half the fun! 💜 Scattered around the board are cute images of BTS members related to each item on the list (e.g., Jin holding up a packet of Jin Ramen). Underneath the list is a snapshot of the date and weather: Fri 6/13 with a sun symbol and a '아미 마음 온도' ('ARMY's heart temperature' in Korean) of 35°C.

Hey ARMY! Weather Forecaster Jeong Hoseok let us know the forecast for June 13 is HOT ☀️ 🥵 , especially in ARMY's hearts! To help prepare for FESTA, here are some tips brought to you by MB Weather:

A quote from Cho Nam-joo's "Saha" that reads, "I regret one thing in life, and because of that one thing, I regret my entire life." The quote sits underneath a high contrast red-tinged image of two distraught-looking people in front of a window with red smoke visible through the glass.

Who said that humans are the animals of wisdom
To my eyes, it’s obvious that they are the animals of regret
