‘It Was Messy': J-Hope Recalls BTS' Early Trainee Days
J-Hope shared how he taught a few things to the fellow members after joining BTS as a trainee in 2010. Anticipations are running high for the reunion of the beloved K-pop boy band BTS. Now that the members have completed their mandatory military duties and have returned to their normal lives, fans couldn't be more excited as they look forward to a grand return. BTS, which is celebrating its 12th anniversary this year, marked its last performance in 2022. Amid the excitement, J-Hope recently opened up about his early days in the group, leaving ARMYs nostalgic. In a conversation with Teen Vogue, J-Hope also spoke about his firsts, such as his first audition and first music video after returning from the military. 'I danced to Miguel's music for my first audition and created a choreography to Miguel's Sure Thing. So when I got to collaborate with Miguel recently, it felt very special, and it was an honour for me. I think auditions are all pretty much the same. It was bittersweet. While you feel a sense of relief that it's finally over, you also feel disappointed about the moments where you could've done better," J-Hope shared about his first audition. The BTS rapper went on to spill beans about his first days as a trainee with the group, revealing some unknown anecdotes. 'When I was a trainee, the first day was December 24, 2010, on Christmas Eve. I came to Seoul and went straight to the place where I was going to live with my members at the time. I had fantasised about being a trainee and expected everything to be neat and well-structured. But when I got there, it was actually very messy. That made it feel more real and human. 'Wow, this is where I'll be starting my life as a trainee,' that thought settled in. That first day was about cleaning up the mess around me," he shared. The BTS star recalled teaching dance to his fellow members. 'It's different for every member. I didn't teach dance to all the members from the start. For example, when Jung Kook first arrived, I taught him the rules of our shared dorm, and the same with V. For Jimin, I met him at the bus stop when he arrived in Seoul from Busan for the first time. I told him about what it's like to be a trainee together. For Jin, I can't really teach him the rules as he is older than me," he continued.

Miguel). First Published: July 03, 2025, 12:12 IST

BTS' Jungkook rejected 3 top fashion labels that ‘fought hard' to sign him, earning ‘HYBE's biggest rainmaker' title
BTS' Jungkook continues to prove why he's not just a music sensation but also a global fashion icon. A new book, The Meaning of Jungkook: The Triumph of BTS and The Making of a Global Superstar, has been recently published. It is written by former Vogue editor Monica Kim. It explores his immense cultural and commercial impact. The book, published on June 10, delves deeply into Jungkook 's journey from a K-pop trainee to a world-recognized trendsetter. Though unofficial, the book is being widely discussed among fans. One particular detail making waves online is Jungkook 's decision to partner with Calvin Klein over several luxury brands vying for his name. Luxury fashion giants vied for Jungkook According to Kim's insights in the book, Jungkook didn't simply land the Calvin Klein deal by chance. In fact, she writes that multiple top-tier global fashion houses were fighting behind the scenes to sign the BTS star as their brand ambassador. These were not just any brands; they were among the most potent names in luxury fashion. Kim revealed that 'From my time consulting in the industry, I know of at least three top fashion houses that fought hard to get him but were turned away.' Yet, he reportedly turned them down, eventually deciding on Calvin Klein. It's a label he genuinely liked and felt connected to. Jungkook officially became Calvin Klein's global ambassador in March 2023, and the collaboration quickly made headlines. His campaigns showcased a bold, edgy image that still felt personal and true to his style. Fans praise Jungkook's authenticity Once excerpts from the book surfaced online, particularly the part about Jungkook declining luxury brand offers, fans reacted passionately. For many ARMYs, it reaffirmed what they already admired about Jungkook: his strong sense of individuality. Rather than chasing prestige or high price tags, Jungkook reportedly picked a brand that aligned with his preferences. He had often been spotted wearing Calvin Klein even before the partnership. This shows that his choice was more personal than performative. The fashion industry often leans heavily on celebrity endorsements, but Jungkook's decision stands out for its sincerity. It wasn't about who could offer the flashiest campaign; it was about what felt right. Fashion impact goes beyond endorsements Jungkook's influence in fashion isn't limited to brand deals. Whether it's his casual streetwear, his airport fashion, or his red carpet appearances, every outfit he wears becomes a talking point. Global retailers and designers have acknowledged his impact on trends, often seeing spikes in demand for styles he has worn. Kim's book presents him not just as an idol, but as a cultural force whose taste and instinct ripple across industries.
