2018: #FallingForJOSHUA
In 2018, Carats celebrated Joshua’s birthday by using the hashtag #FallingForJOSHUA, which was used by Soompi, along with other hashtags like #HappyJoshuaDay, #Happy_SHUA_Day, and #겨울왕자_슈아의_생일을_축하해 (meaning: PrinceOfWinter_Shua’s_Birthday_Congrats). Here are some tweets about it!

There were also some fan projects to celebrate Joshua’s birthday. A Facebook group for Joshua’s Argentinian fans account, @JoshuaArgentina made a worldwide fan-project called “A Galaxy for Joshua”. Joshua is known to love stars and constellations and wants to see them in the sky so the project’s purpose was to create stars for Joshua. The stars could be created manually from any material with a birthday message for Joshua. The stars could be accompanied by the official banner from the project, fan-art, or anything.

Then they had to upload the photo to social media (Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook) on his birthday, December 30, 2018, at 12 a.m. KST and tag @pledis_17, @JoshuaArgentina, and @7TEEN_ARG (Twitter) or @saythename_17, @joshuahong951230, and @7TEEN_ARG (Instagram) with hashtag #AGalaxyForJoshua and chosen hashtag on the day.

The other fan-project, “Heavenly”, was initiated by @CaratsCare on Twitter. It was a project to collect donations in the form of books and money. They would be sent to Semut Sumut, a community in North Sumatra, Indonesia, and would be donated to children who dropped out of school due to financial struggles. The donation was opened from December 5 through December 28, 2018. The books and money were sent weeks after that.
