BTS’s J-Hope Recently Earned A New Nickname From K-ARMYs And It’s Super Cute
BTS‘s J-Hope just earned himself a brand new nickname and the explanation for it will make you love it even more!
For the past 10 weeks, BTS has received #1 on Billboard HOT 100. Each morning after this happens, ARMYs anticipate J-Hope’s selfie expressing his shock and gratitude for the impressive feat. His captions, however, are where the origins of his new nickname can be found!
Hold on, what’s happening?
— J-Hope
Ending his captions with a bit of aegyo, or cuteness, he slightly changes the phrase “What’s happening” (museun il–iya). By adding an “m” onto the end, it becomes museun il–iyam, a much cuter way of asking the question!
Wait what’s happening (museun il–iyam)…?
— J-Hope
Since it sounds like “yam” at the end of the sentence, the totally adorable nickname “Yamyam-i” (얌얌이) was born!
Wait,,,,what’s,,,,happening??
— J-Hope
Even when posting different captions, he continued to add the cute suffix “yam” at the end of his sentence, showing that he’s doing it purposefully.
7 [weeks]….ARMY is the best (jjang-iyam)…
— J-Hope
Sincerely thank you, ARMY …
I love you (saranghae-yam)….
— J-Hope
Is this real life… (sashil-iyam)? For real… (jinjja-yam)??
— J-Hope
Every week when BTS succeeds, ARMYs wait for “Yamyam-i” to wake up and post his precious selfie.
ARMY and BTS is seriously amazing…(daedanhae-yam)
— J-Hope
The sweet nickname is just as cute as J-Hope is!
