On June 17, 2025, Newsen reported that BTS' j-hope had gone above and beyond for fans who attended the pre-recording of M Countdown at the CJ ENM Studio Center in Paju. In a thoughtful gesture, j-hope arranged for a large studio nearby to be rented. This was so that fans would not have to wait outside in the summer heat for long hours before the show.
In addition to providing a shaded indoor space, j-hope prepared gift sets that included bagels, desserts, drinks, water, a lip balm and perfume set, and handwritten letters. He had hinted at this during a fan listening party livestream, asking whether it would be hot later. He shared that he wanted ARMY to have a comfortable resting place.
A user who attended, @je_the1004, shared the experience online. They explained how the rapper had taken care of everything. From a cooled resting area to food and thoughtful presents, he arranged it all.
