J-Hope and Pharrell Strike a Pose: What’s Behind BTS’s Star-Studded Photo Before Discharge?

J-Hope of BTS recently shared a photo with Pharrell Williams, just a month before his upcoming military discharge.

Yesterday, J-Hope posted a warm photo with Pharrell, who recently visited South Korea, to his social media channel.

In the photo, both artists are seen flaunting a relaxed yet trendy street style. Pharrell is wearing a pink T-shirt and a beige hat, striking a pose with his hands clasped. J-Hope is dressed in a white T-shirt with a bandana around his neck and a backward cap, exuding a confident and casual vibe. J-Hope’s comment, “Can’t wait for 2025,” has generated buzz and anticipation for the full reunion of BTS.

Although the comment feature on the post is disabled, fellow BTS member RM drew attention with his comment, “Please come quickly, next year.” Currently serving in the military alongside V, RM celebrated his birthday on the 12th. Meanwhile, J-Hope, who enlisted on April 18, 2023, is scheduled to complete his service and be discharged on October 17, just a month away. J-Hope has been serving as a drill instructor in the 36th Infantry Division of the South Korean Army. Before his enlistment, he released a solo album, HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, on March 29, which debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200, showcasing his unwavering passion for music and dedication to his fans even during his military service.

Meanwhile, Pharrell Williams visited South Korea in the beginning of this month to attend an event for Nothing but a G Thang: G-Dragon’s Art and Archive. During his visit, he spent time with Big Bang’s G-Dragon and BLACKPINK’s Jennie and made a surprise appearance on SBS Radio’s Youngstreet, hosted by Red Velvet’s Wendy, on the 10th.
