Why Is August 16th “J-Hope Day?” BTS’s Suga Has The Answer

This tradition is iconic!

It’s that time of the year again! August 16th is a very special day for BTS fans, but not for the reason you might think.

Suga‘s first mixtape Agust D was released on this day…

…but there’s another fun fact about this day that has to do with J-Hope that not many people know about.

Suga once named this day “J-Hope Day” and there are special instructions that participants must follow.

Written on the 2016 Season’s Greetings calendar and agenda book, he declared the events that take place on this special holiday.

Right as I open my eyes (from my sleep), I wake up as I yell ‘J-Hope!’
