Jhope said, "I believe that children will one day be able to move toward a hopeful future. I sincerely hope that they can overcome their pain and dream bright dreams. I have also been continuing to donate out of a desire to repay ARMY, who always give me tremendous support. I am grateful to be able to practice such a meaningful act of sharing on my birthday again this year, following last year."
