Fun fact, I think Hobi has always styled the name “j-hope” in lower case, from my memory. You can see it in producer credits in older albums etc.
Yoongi on the other hand has always used SUGA in all caps, as well as AGUST D.
Also mine came today and I’m trying to get over how much I love Version 1 cause I got 2 (which is my second choice but still). Didn’t splurge on all 4 because I’m running out of space and I learnt my lesson with Love Yourself.
Another fun fact! My poster did not come folded but in a MASSIVE and SUPER STURDY brown poster tube with metal caps?? The thickness is like the width of my palm!
I ordered mine directly from the BigHit shop, plus I live in Asia and it arrived from Korea, so that could have been a contributing factor. They probably needed to flat pack the posters for convenience/space so Americans/Europeans might have gotten folded ones, while Asia might have gotten the poster tubes.
I was so surprised honestly when the package arrived it was so big, I thought they’d sent all 4 by accident! But it was just the giant poster tube rolling inside the massive cardboard box lol
