JR from the Korean boy group Nu’est recently had a birthday. According to SBS, fans rented out subway billboards with birthday wishes. JR wanted to go see the ads for himself and dressed up as Squirtle as he ventured out in public.
Below are images of JR, apparently dressed as Squirtle, checking out the birthday greetings. Doesn’t appear he was recognized and this one way he could see the birthday billboard without causing a scene.

JR running as Squirtle is still the cutest thing ever
And just how many mascots does Pledis have lmao? Do they have a Macot Rental subsidiary? I've seen Nuest in a lot of costumes already in the last few years 😂#Nuest #김종현 #김종현_생일축하해_같이걸어가 pic.twitter.com/tExYXkcWOc
