Hobi's Birthday Live: "love you hope-ah~❤️💜"

Live started with Sasha Sloan's song, "Smiling When I Die"
()

Hi everyone~ Yes, that's right. It's thirty minutes before my birthday. I wanted to say hello and spend this birthday with you all, so I went live!

I'll be live until 12! Or should I at least go past 12... Talk with you all, and at around 11:50 I'll light the candles.
I say this all the time, but the fact that I can get so many birthday wishes from so many people the day I was born is such a happy thing!

"What are you doing for your birthday?"
What would I do? Of course I need to prepare for comeback. Yes, this live is "love you, hope-ah," right? From what I've heard, I said I wanted to hear "I love you Hope-ah!" at 2:18 am... I said this ridiculous thing, yes.

"Please show us the pictures behind you!"
Wow... yes. Today's a little different because the livestream equipment has become very fancy/detailed. It's all fixed, so I don't think I can move it. I don't want to accidentally turn it off, so. There's a baby J-hope, baby Jung Hoseok.

Do you all see this picture? (drunk hobi from the company dinner episode)

If you all know where this is from.. it's me having a glass and enjoying it very much. It's very funny! If we see up here just a bit, there are these pictures, yes. A hand for the BigHit staffs, please!

Yes, at the company dinner- hAHAH!
Tomorrow's the day I reveal my abs?? What is this? I never said that..

"What are we doing here?" (army used online translator)
You are enjoying my live..

It's really been a while in the studio and going live, having a party party!

Now it’s 2020, and the start of the new year has always been me, so whenever the new year comes around, I’m the first birthday, in February, of the members. So I can start a new year well! Today, I had food at home. Seaweed Soup (miyeok gook) and Galbi. Gal~bi~~ MiyeokGook~~

“How are you?!”
I’m fine! Thank you, and you??
That’s right, homecooked food is the best. Ah, these days are so busy. Of course the album is complete & we’re doing choreography practice, to show you the best performance possible we’re practicing hard.

I feel like the preparation process is very difficult, more than any other schedule/event. The idea that we have to show you our best selves, could be seen as some kind of pressure.. it could be our own intentions/hope (to do our best), so we really work hard to prepare..

“Please give us a spoiler.”

Ah.. the album’s almost out already what “spoiler”.. just listen yourselves! It would be more thrilling that way. Acorn cap hat? It’s not.. You think I lost weight? Not a lot.. I think we lost a bit while rehearsing in the US. It was fun..

Raise my glasses a bit? It would look like this..

“Is there a gift you want? Please answer..”
Your.. hearts? Oh right Jin-hyung gifted me this jacket! Isn’t it pretty?
He was like J-hopeee~~~~ and he was late for practice! I was like why is he so late??

He was all “J-HOPEEE I’ll show you how to style this jacketttt” and was like “Try it on! Okay that’s winter-mode... there’s also summer-mode!” I’ll show you guys..
“J-hopeee This is summer mode”

Guys I was so surprised this jacket has four arms? (the sleeves can be worn shorter)

“What flavor cake is that?”
Let’s blow the candles out later.. I was also gifted a cake I like so I’ll show you guys that later!

“A song you listen to these days?”
I played that song I listen to these days.. is my psychological state like that? I like relaxing music these days.

Our tracklist was revealed? I think it will be really good. Spoiler?? I won’t fall for that. It’s Monday.. “Too Sad To Cry.” Sasha Sloan is so good. (open.spotify.com/track/3CRtbOoA…)

Everyone, I’ve been looking a lot for little things that make me happy. It’s been a while.. I’ve started playing games with the members these days. Like this, please keep finding things that make you happy. The small things that make you happy.

“What game?”
I don’t know if I can say.. I like League of Legends. It’s fun.. These days, we travel a lot so I’ve watched a lot of dramas, too. I watched “Crash Landing on You!” Yesterday was the last episode.. I usually don’t watch dramas but it’s so boring in the plane..

15 minutes till my birthday. So I said to say my name at 2:18 am at a fansign?? I was not in my right mind. Which fansign.. Mr. J-hope why would you do that..
Dr. Romantic (drama) is fun? These days, Taehyung’s friend, Park Seojoon is in Itaewon Class, so I watch that these days.

Mang? They’re always here in the studio with me. I’m thinking of spending my birthday with my members. “Where the Camellia Blooms?” Of course I’ve watched it. Our international fans, watch some K-dramas!

Some members are recording, yeah they’re all doing different things, some resting at home. It snowed a lot! Really a lot. Even in Gwangju, too, from the picture my dad sent me. Didn’t snow in Daegu? I thought it snowed everywhere.. it’s nice, but.. so pretty, but it’s cold..

Happiest moment this year? It hasn’t been long yet.. Should I say this moment..? (smirk)
What’s written behind me? “Hobi Bir-ddeu-day!” (written cutely)
You want my hand..? (finger heart)
Ohh the camera focuses.. wow..
💜☀️💜☀️💜☀️ (alternating between finger heart & Hobi)

Now there’s 10 minutes left.. there’s not much to a birthday, but the first thing I thoguht of was our fans, so I thought we should do a livestream.

Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler - you were good to me

Fun plans after my birthday? What else would there be besides meeting you guys? Even if I can’t spoil.. show you my hair? My hair is very bright I have to cover it. How was it going to the exhibition with Taehyung? So fun. I was going to go alone but Taehyung came with.

I think I hang out and go out and about with the younger members these days. They come with me a lot.. I saw the many ads for my birthday. It’s amazing. Coffee cups too. Subway ads, I saw those when I was younger, too. Birthday wish? I say this a lot, health is the most important

I’m using the Fold phone these days. I switched. It’s your mother’s birthday? Happy birthday to her! Don’t come closer to the camera or your heart will flutter? Oh- my skin omg..
Six minutes! Let’s always be healthy guys..

Let’s get ready for my birthday now. Isn’t this cute? I received a cake that I realy like. It’s really pretty. Something fell?? Noo! Isn’t it so pretty?? How could it look so pretty... “Just trust myself~~”

Halsey - You should be Sad (open.spotify.com/track/7lidXGPX…)

I’ll light the candles now.. the color is so pretty! This is Halsey’s song. Halsey how are you! Three minutes left you guys. (lights off)
(ft. hobi hitting those high notes)

Two minutes! I’ll blow out the candles when it strikes 12. I don’t know if you can see it..

I’m so scared (of lighting these candles.. Why won’t it light? a-AHHH (got icing on his new jacket) My clothessss I don’t like getting stuff on my clothessssss! A 1, 2, 1234! Happy birthday to me~~ [...] My wish!!

My birthday came around like this. I don’t know how the time difference works abroad but in Korea it’s my birthday - February 28. Thank you all for wishing me happy birthday!! Thank youuu~

It’s late, so yes.. No, I’ll stay for just a little longer. It’s such a great day. Should I have a strawberry?? Everyone, you know what fruit I like best? I like melon. I like strawberries too.. What bread I like best?? Hoseok-Oppang!! (ppang means bread)

I really like garlic bread. Hoseok-oppang~~ (an army made this joke a couple days ago on weverse) I really like strawberries a lot! So good... I LOVE Strawberry!! Berry Berry Strawberry! Last year, what was my wish? What did I wish for? I think I wished for everyone’s health.
