Waltham has graced their 200,000+ Twitter followers with over a dozen posts celebrating J-Hope’s birthday. One reads, “Thank you for being a beacon of light…and…always lighting up our spirits! Grateful for you sharing your talents with the world!”
The activist and writer has been a dedicated ARMY since 2017. After watching BTS’s ‘Blood Sweat and Tears’ MV, they were inspired to learn more. They have expressed their admiration for BTS “giving back to a society that desperately needs it”, through their campaigns such as #EndViolence.
They described BTS’s fanbase as a “supporting, loving, and beautiful…family”. They regularly post about the boy group on their blog, describing themselves as “proud to be a fanboy”. In their opinion, BTS’s message is that “we should know ourselves in order to love ourselves”. As an LGBT+ activist, this message rings especially true.
The 22-year-old law student has had a short but remarkably fruitful career. They have worked with the United Nations, worked in campaigns like #MenAreTrash, and is most recently working in their South African university, SRC’s Mental Health Task Team.
Describing their BTS journey, Waltham wrote, “My love and appreciation for them continues to grow every single day”. It’s a sentiment ARMYs around the world can identify with.
Happy Birthday J-Hope!
