Guerrero is now one of only five accounts that J-Hope follows on the platform. The exclusive list includes fellow BTS member Jungkook, the official BTS account, and two luxury brands for which J-Hope serves as an ambassador: Louis Vuitton and Audemars Piguet.
It is important to note that J-Hope is gearing up to launch his first solo tour, "Hope on the Stage," which includes stops in Manila on April 12 and 13 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The BTS member has also teased the release of new music in March.
