J-Hope's first meal on the first day of his admission was soft tofu stew, stir-fried pumpkin beef, seasoned pollack, dried laver, and kimchi. The tweet received an explosive response with nearly 600,000 views and 2,800 retweets.
Many ARMY at home and abroad said, "Thank you for letting me know. I'm also happy that J-Hope seems to be eating well", "Hope, eat a lot", and "I'm glad that they're Korean side dishes that J-Hope likes", they were relieved.
In particular, overseas ARMY were surprised that J-Hope's food tray provided a variety of menus, and they showed great interest in various reactions such as searching and sharing recipes.
