Art installations 

What is more fitting than art for an artist itself? ARMYs have taken the initiative to light up the streets and bring cheer to the public with beautiful ice sculptures and street lights. 

Hoseok is the First Artist in the world to have an ice sculpture (tiny tan Hobi) to celebrate his birthday, this wonderful project was made possible by @btsukrprojects 🥰🥳 #JHOPE

Donation drives

Just like the man himself, his fans are equally kind-hearted, and ARMYs started donation drives in the artist's name to support the younger generation. 

In line with BTS' vision of empowering young people, fans have helped make their vision happen by supporting underprivileged children in dance and those fighting cancer, encouraging others to care for the nature we live in, and preventing animal abuse.

Celebrating Hobi's bday with #WhatHopeCanDo, a 5-day campaign to support What Dance Can Do (WDCD), a non-profit org in Cape Town that uses dance to make a life-changing impact in the lives of kids and young adults.
