Meanwhile, BTS’ leader RM also sent best wishes to Jhope before his journey.
The rapper was earlier in the news for throwing the ceremonial pitch at the second game between the Kia Tigers and Samsung Lions baseball match. The ceremony was first supposed to happen on October 22 but got postponed due to rain, leaving BTS ARMY disappointed. It was also his first public event after his return from the military.
