BTS' J-Hope Promises A ‘More Experienced' Version Of Himself In Emotional Post
Last Updated:
Reflecting on his solo endeavours, BTS' J-Hope talked about how deeply involved he was in creating his recent singles.
After taking some time off following his discharge from the military, Jung Hoseok, aka J-Hope, returned to the music scene with three back-to-back singles. With Sweet Dreams feat. Miguel, Mona Lisa and Killin' It Girl, the BTS rapper and dancer blended different music styles with his signature flair and unforgettable dance moves, proving why he is an ace in the field.
Following his appearance on Inkigayo, the 31-year-old took to Weverse on Sunday, June 22, and shared a heartfelt letter with his fans. Reflecting on his solo endeavours, J-Hope talked about how deeply involved he was in creating his recent singles and added that he was fully immersed in every part of the process. He also talked about Lollapalooza Berlin, the only thing left in his solo schedule, sharing that he is ready to 'burn things up once more" and show his fans a 'more experienced version" of himself.
'Looks like I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about it all. It's probably because of all the many processes I had to go through, but it's also maybe because I feel a resonance within me even deeper than what you've expressed for me," he began his letter, translated by a BTS fan page. J-Hope added, 'All artists probably work with the same love and affection, but I don't know. I think I have a bit more. I seem to have gotten particularly immersed in my work."
The rapper explained that more than anything, he wanted to give his best for his millions of fans, the ARMY. He said, 'When I think about who's watching, who's listening, who's giving their love and attention, and not to mention, who's consuming, and dedicating their time, in the end, you guys, our ARMY, are at the heart of it all! Right.. of course, it's obvious!! But I also think that treating it as 'obvious', as a given, is something that I have to be really careful not to do."

Furthermore, J-Hope shared that for eight months since his discharge, he had only focused on his solo music and performances. He made sure every detail was just right. Throughout this journey, the BTS star added that he 'really learnt a lot, felt a lot, and I think that the attitude I've gained is going to make me consider and approach my next steps with even more care."
Towards the end of his letter, J-Hope looked back in time when BTS announced their hiatus in 2022 and began their military enlistments. Since then, he mentioned that he has grown as a person. He said, 'I've experienced being sick, and tried healing myself, and felt a great sense of accomplishment, and developed confidence. I've also developed a sense of belief in myself and my loving fans. I think I've become stronger and secure! It's all thanks to you. Truly!!!!"

BTS and TXT's label HYBE confirms plan to establish subsidiary in India: Check launch details, reason for new venture, more
South Korea's entertainment behemoth HYBE has revealed plans to establish a subsidiary in India by the latter half of 2025. The label is home to global stars BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), KATSEYE, among others. It shared that groundwork is already underway for the expansion. On June 30, the company announced that it has begun conducting in-depth market research. It is handling the legal processes needed to launch a fully operational Indian entity. The official rollout is being targeted for September or October this year. Bang Si Hyuk's strategic vision HYBE 's decision to enter India is part of a broader long-term strategy devised by founder and Chairman Bang Si Hyuk. Known as the 'Multi-home, Multi-genre' model, the blueprint focuses on developing localized music ecosystems. It also leverages HYBE's proven artist development infrastructure and training systems, which have been refined through K-pop's global success. Rather than simply exporting Korean pop music, Bang Si Hyuk envisions building from the ground up in each key market. His approach focuses on developing native talent and reflecting regional cultures. This approach not only helps tailor content to local tastes but also allows for more authentic engagement with audiences. Chairman Bang is reportedly overseeing the Indian expansion himself. Why India? With a population exceeding 1.4 billion and a music-loving youth demographic, India stands as one of the world's most attractive yet underdeveloped music markets. Over the past few years, K-pop fandom in the country has surged. Indian fans are becoming increasingly visible in global online conversations and streaming numbers. Despite this, no major K-pop label has attempted a full-scale, localized operation in India, until now. By entering India with a dedicated subsidiary, HYBE is aiming to not only ride the K-pop wave but also cultivate a homegrown version of it. The HYBE formula abroad India is not HYBE's first attempt at tailoring K-pop's core framework to foreign markets. The company has already seen tangible results through similar expansions in other parts of the world, most notably in the United States and Latin America. In the U.S., HYBE America has gained attention with its girl group KATSEYE. It debuted through a survival program and has already entered the Billboard Hot 100 less than a year into their career. In Latin America, HYBE launched operations in the second half of 2023 and is now executing two major artist development projects. The first is a reality audition show, Pase a la Fama, produced in partnership with Mexico's leading broadcaster, Telemundo. The second project involves a large-scale audition for a Latin boy group. In it, participants will similarly undergo professional training and mentorship. What's next for HYBE India? Many details are still under wraps, including where the headquarters will be located and what types of talent programs are being planned. But it is clear that HYBE intends to replicate its proven strategy: launch locally, train rigorously, produce globally. Whether HYBE will launch a new audition program in India, scout from existing talent pools, or collaborate with Indian production houses remains to be seen.
