BTS J-Hope Reveals Having Rescued a Sick Stray Cat
Recently, BTS member J-Hope made a guest appearance on the August 10 broadcast of the MBC Standard FM radio program Starry Night, which is hosted by popular lyricist Kim Eana, who has written numerous hit K-pop songs.
During his guest appearance, a listener had sent in a message asking J-Hope about a past event. The listener had asked the rapper, "I heard that you took a stray cat to the vet last year. Did this really happen?"
Back in November of last year, a post on an online community forum had shared that J-Hope took in a sick stray cat and brought it to the vet for treatment, with the BTS member shouldering all of the costs. However, as there was no proof that this actually happened, it remained as an unverified story among ARMYs (BTS' fandom).

But on the show, J-Hope finally confirmed that the story is indeed true, and that he had encountered the stray cat at a filming site.
"Ah yes, it has. I was filming something on that day, and I had spotted a stray cat around the filming site. My heart instantly broke into pieces when I saw the cat," J-Hope recalls.
He then revealed what the stray cat's condition was when he found it, saying it was too thin due to hunger and had bad eyesight. He recalls his own dog, Mickey, having a similar condition.

"I have a dog myself, and the condition of his eyes are bad. So his eyes are actually artificial. He got an eye transplant before. The eyes of the stray cat didn't look so good as well. And since the cat was also too thin, I thought I couldn't leave the cat there like that," J-Hope shared.

He then explained having treated the cat first, before eventually having it adopted to a new family.
He said, "So, I took the cat to the vet myself. I got the cat treated, and had found a new family and home for him or her. [The family] seemed like they were nice people."

After listening to his story, Kim Eana praised the rapper, saying, "Wow, that is amazing. You are truly living [up to] your name, J-Hope."
Hearing this, J-Hope became shy and laughed. He remained humble by saying that it seemed he and the cat were destined to meet each other, and that it was just good timing then.
